Bug Description
The installed_plugins.json file shows an outdated version for a plugin installed from marketplace, even though the actual installed version is newer.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install claude-mem plugin from thedotmack marketplace
- Check version in installed_plugins.json
- Compare with actual version in marketplace directory
Expected Behavior
installed_plugins.jsonshould reflect the actual installed plugin version
Actual Behavior
installed_plugins.jsonshows version 4.3.0- Actual installed plugin version in marketplace is 5.4.0
- This creates confusion about which version is actually running
Environment
- Platform: Linux
- Claude Code version: latest
- Plugin: claude-mem@thedotmack
Additional Context
~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json:
"claude-mem@thedotmack": {
"version": "4.3.0", // ❌ Incorrect
...
}
~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/thedotmack/plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json:
{
"name": "claude-mem",
"version": "5.4.0", // ✅ Correct
...
}
This suggests the version in installed_plugins.json is not being updated when marketplace plugins are updated.
