Claude Code used to load every `.js` file in a plugin's workflows folder. These files can now be checked before they are read. If a check gives a reason to refuse one, Claude Code skips that file and logs an error.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is a security step that can stop an unwanted plugin workflow file from running.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
