What
A plugin marketplace is a source plugins are installed from. Managed settings, which an organisation's administrator controls, can name a marketplace. Claude Code then takes back that marketplace's plugins, removing them from its plugin cache (the local copies it keeps) and from installed_plugins.json, the file listing installed plugins.
If installed_plugins.json cannot be read, Claude Code now holds the take-back back and shows an error saying it could not withdraw the cached plugins. Before, it removed every plugin from that marketplace with no such check.
Why
This gives administrators a safer way to enforce marketplace rules. If you see this error, check that installed_plugins.json is readable.
