[DOCS] Plugin marketplace docs missing `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS` configuration
Documentation Type
Missing documentation (feature not documented)
Documentation Location
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugin-marketplaces
Section/Topic
Plugin installation/update timeout behavior and environment variable configuration.
Current Documentation
The plugin marketplace troubleshooting section currently documents authentication but not timeout controls:
For background auto-updates: * Set the appropriate token in your environment: echo $GITHUB_TOKEN
There is no documented CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS variable and no mention of the default git timeout for plugin marketplace operations.
What's Wrong or Missing?
Release v2.1.51 introduced:
Updated plugin marketplace default git timeout from 30s to 120s and added CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS to configure.
Users currently have no official documentation for:
- The new default timeout value
- How to set
CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS - Expected units/range and behavior when unset
Suggested Improvement
Add a "Plugin git timeout" section in plugin-marketplaces and add CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS to the environment variable reference with:
- Default value (
120000ms equivalent) - Accepted format and examples
- Scope (install/update/fetch operations)
- Guidance for slow private registries/network environments
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
