What
Hooks are your own scripts or commands that Claude Code runs at set points. Claude Code runs some of them in a separate helper process, and these changes affect what that process reports:
The message shown when the helper process crashes no longer adds that anything the hooks withheld stays withheld until they are reloaded or disabled.
If a hooks module fails to load after the helper process restarts, Claude Code now reports a reason for the failure.
When you install a plugin (an add-on that extends Claude Code), the install result can now also carry the output of commands run during the install and a note for when the install ends up on an older version.
Why
This gives you more to go on when a hook or a plugin install goes wrong.
