What
A plugin can say which Claude Code versions it works with. Several new notices:
A plugin whose required version does not match yours is not loaded, and a warning says so and points to /plugin.
Automatic updates for such a plugin are marked as blocked by the version requirement.
A startup notice appears when your organisation's policy denies Claude in Chrome.
When a language server (a helper that gives code intelligence for a language) fails to start, a warning is added to the conversation.
Why
You now see why a plugin or the browser extension is not working, instead of it silently doing nothing.
