Local-path plugins (source is a string like "./plugins/foo" in
marketplace.json) without a manifest version cache at
~/.claude/plugins/cache/{marketplace}/{plugin}/unknown/ forever.
The cache check in claude-cli's copyPluginToVersionedCache sees
pathExists(.../unknown/) → true → skips re-extraction, even after
the marketplace content updates. Users are stuck with stale plugin
files until they manually delete the cache.
Adding "version": "1.0.0" fixes this because calculatePluginVersion
reads the manifest from the freshly-synced marketplace tree (not the
stale cache), and manifest.version is priority #1 in version
resolution. New version → new cache path → cache miss → re-extract.
This is preferable to the GCS-SHA fallback approach
(anthropics/claude-cli-internal#24773) because:
- Per-plugin granularity: only bumped plugins re-extract, not all
27 on every marketplace push
- No disk accumulation from unrelated marketplace churn
- Fixes both the runtime loader path AND the migration path
(manifest.version is priority #1 in both)
- No claude-cli code change needed
Remote-sourced plugins (github/git/url) already get a git SHA as
their version and are unaffected.

Problem
27 local-path plugins (where
sourceis a string like"./plugins/foo"in marketplace.json) have noversionfield in their.claude-plugin/plugin.json. This causes claude-cli to cache them at~/.claude/plugins/cache/{marketplace}/{plugin}/unknown/forever.The cache check in
copyPluginToVersionedCache(pluginLoader.ts) seespathExists(.../unknown/)→ true → skips re-extraction, even after the marketplace content updates. Users are stuck with stale plugin files until they manually delete the cache. This is currently blocking the exec-bit preservation fix from reaching users with already-cached 644 hook scripts.Fix
Add
"version": "1.0.0"to all 27 affected manifests.This works because
calculatePluginVersionreads the manifest from the freshly-synced marketplace tree (not the stale cache), andmanifest.versionis priority #1 in version resolution. New version → new cache path → cache miss → re-extract.Why this instead of anthropics/claude-cli-internal#24773 (GCS SHA fallback)
migrateFromEnabledPlugins; runtimecalculatePluginVersionstill returns'unknown'The marketplace updates far more often than any individual plugin — using the marketplace SHA as a per-plugin cache key is the wrong granularity.
