What
A plugin is an add-on that extends Claude Code. In the plugin detail view, opening a plugin's homepage or repository link now first calls a logging helper before the link opens. Before, the link simply opened.
Separately, comparing plugin sources while loading plugins is now memoized per call. Memoized means a result is worked out once and reused instead of being recomputed.
Why
The links behave as before. The change adds a record of which plugin links people open, and the memoizing avoids repeating the same comparison during loading.
