What
Some plugins are installed from a subfolder of a git repository. Claude Code labels them with a version made from the commit ID plus the subfolder path. The commit ID, called a SHA, is the code that identifies a saved change in git.
That label is now built in a different way. It uses the start of the commit ID that Claude Code has already looked up.
Why
Claude Code stores plugins it has downloaded and reuses them by version label. If the labels come out differently, plugins already stored may be downloaded again.
