What
A marketplace is a catalogue Claude Code installs plugins from. Managed settings are settings an organization's administrator sets for everyone. Claude Code's record of known marketplaces now has an optional declaredByManagedSettings field, which marks a marketplace whose source was set by managed settings.
If managed settings later name a different source for the same marketplace, Claude Code treats that as the organization moving its marketplace, and what its plugins had saved is kept.
Why
When an organization changes where its plugin marketplace lives, users should not lose the data their plugins had stored.
