Some plugins only work with certain versions of Claude Code. When an install is refused because your version is outside the range a plugin supports, Claude Code now shows the refusal message as a warning notice for 8 seconds. It also records that the plugin was not installed and gives the reason.\n\nBefore, this case was handled as an ordinary install failure. Claude Code now also removes any partly installed copy of the plugin in this case, the same cleanup it already did for a version conflict.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou get a clear reason when a plugin does not work with your Claude Code version, instead of a vague failure.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
