What
Plugins are add-ons that extend Claude Code. Some can open panes, which are areas of the screen they draw in. When one plugin tries to open or close a pane that another plugin holds, Claude Code now refuses with an error naming the plugin that holds it. Events from a pane now also record which plugin owns it.
Why
One plugin can no longer take over or shut another plugin's pane. When that is refused, the error tells a plugin author which plugin is in the way.
