What
Plugins add features to Claude Code, and some include hooks, scripts that run at set moments. When a plugin's manifest (its description file) no longer names a hooks module, Claude Code now reloads it and cancels any notification still pending for that plugin. Before, it reloaded only when the plugin was already known, and nothing was cancelled.
Why
This is a small fix to how plugins are tidied up when their hooks are removed.
