What
Some plugins are installed from a folder inside a git repository or from a web address, and Claude Code keeps a saved copy on your machine. Claude Code now has a check that compares that saved copy against the commit (the exact recorded version) it is meant to match.
If the copy does not match, Claude Code can download it again and replace the folder.
If the copy cannot be checked, Claude Code refuses to load the plugin and says its copy could not be checked against its commit.
Why
A plugin copy that was altered or has gone out of date can be repaired or refused instead of being loaded as it is.
