/plugin TUI cannot add a marketplace plugin to more than one project

Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.49
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
- Shell: zsh
Description
When using the /plugin interactive TUI to enable a plugin from a custom marketplace, it works for the first project but fails when trying to enable the same plugin in a second project. The TUI does not allow completing the operation for the second project.
The workaround is manually editing ~/.claude/settings.json to add the plugin entry to enabledPlugins.
Steps to reproduce
- Configure a custom marketplace (e.g., a private GitHub-hosted marketplace)
- Open Claude Code in Project A
- Use
/pluginTUI to enable a plugin from the marketplace (e.g.,jira@my-marketplace) — this works - Open Claude Code in Project B
- Use
/pluginTUI to enable the same plugin from the marketplace — this fails
Expected behavior
The /plugin TUI should allow enabling the same marketplace plugin across multiple projects.
Actual behavior
The TUI fails to add the plugin to a second project. The user must manually edit ~/.claude/settings.json to add the plugin.
Workaround
Manually add the plugin to ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
"enabledPlugins": {
"plugin-name@marketplace-name": true
}
