What
When Claude Code validates a plugin, it warns if a folder on the way to the plugin's MCP servers file is a link. A link is a shortcut that points to another location on disk. The warning used to call this only a "symlink." It now reads "a link (a symlink or a Windows junction)." A Windows junction is the Windows form of a folder link.
Why
Plugin authors on Windows now get a warning that matches what is actually on their disk.
