What
When Claude Code reloads its skills (packaged instructions it can draw on), it now decides whether to start a plugins reload at the same time instead of later. Plugins are add-ons that bring extra commands, skills or tools.
The early reload only happens when a remote switch is on. Without a value from the server, that switch is off, so this stays off unless it is switched on remotely.
Why
The behaviour ships in place but switched off by default, so most sessions keep reloading plugins the way they did before.
