What's Wrong?

Environment
Platform: Claude Code web (not CLI)
Model: Opus 4.6
What's configured
16 plugins in ~/.claude/settings.json under enabledPlugins, all from claude-plugins-official:
frontend-design, security-guidance, claude-md-management, commit-commands, code-review, pr-review-toolkit, supabase, github, vercel, stripe, context7, agent-sdk-dev, claude-code-setup, code-simplifier, figma, feature-dev, typescript-lsp

What's assigned in UI
The same plugins are visible in the Claude Code web UI Customize panel, assigned to the project folder.

What actually loads
Only 5 skills appear in the session: update-config, simplify, loop, claude-api, session-start-hook (custom). The remaining ~12 plugins silently fail to load — no error messages.

Expected behavior
All 16 configured and folder-assigned plugins should load into the web session.

Steps to reproduce
Configure ~/.claude/settings.json with enabledPlugins listing plugins from claude-plugins-official
Assign the same plugins to a project folder via the web UI Customize panel
Start a new Claude Code web session on that project
Observe that only a subset of skills are available
Additional context
The settings.json includes extraKnownMarketplaces pointing to anthropics/claude-plugins-official. The plugins work fine on local CLI — issue is specific to web sessions.
