fix(claude-code): remove plugin files containing absolute paths#2167
Merged
Conversation
Remove 4 plugin management files that should not be synced:
- `plugins/installed_plugins.json`: contains absolute `installPath`
(e.g. `/Users/<user>/.claude/plugins/cache/...`). Claude Code
auto-rebuilds this from `settings.json` `enabledPlugins`.
- `plugins/known_marketplaces.json`: contains absolute
`installLocation`. Source code explicitly warns about cross-platform
path corruption.
- `plugins/blocklist.json`: security cache auto-fetched from GitHub
every hour, not user configuration.
- `plugins/config.json`: deprecated legacy file (always `{}`).

Summary
Remove 4 plugin management files from
claude-code.cfgthat should not be synced across machines:plugins/installed_plugins.json: contains absoluteinstallPath(e.g./Users/<user>/.claude/plugins/cache/...). Claude Code auto-rebuilds this fromsettings.json'senabledPluginson startup.plugins/known_marketplaces.json: contains absoluteinstallLocation. The source code explicitly warns: "Marketplace has a corrupted installLocation — This can happen after cross-platform path writes or manual edits to known_marketplaces.json."plugins/blocklist.json: security blocklist cache auto-fetched from GitHub every hour — not user configuration.plugins/config.json: deprecated legacy file, always contains{"repositories": {}}.All 4 files are auto-managed by Claude Code and either contain machine-specific absolute paths or are ephemeral caches. The remaining 7 entries (
agents/,CLAUDE.md,hooks/,keybindings.json,settings.json,skills/,statusline.sh) are all user-created/customizable and portable.Follows up on #2166.
