Claude Code 2.1.129 adds plugin installs

Claude Code 2.1.129 adds a session-only `--plugin-url` install flow, better refusal diagnostics with API Request IDs, and a sync-output escape hatch for terminals that mis-detect. It feels like a release focused on operability and power-user workflows rather than a flashy surface change.

// ANALYSIS

Claude Code is maturing into a more enterprise-friendly CLI: easier to extend, easier to debug, and less brittle in real terminal setups.

  • `--plugin-url` lowers the friction for disposable demos, workshops, and one-off session installs without committing to a longer-lived setup
  • Including API Request IDs in policy refusal errors is a small but high-leverage support fix for tracing failures across logs and tickets
  • `CLAUDE_CODE_FORCE_SYNC_OUTPUT=1` is the kind of practical knob that matters once the tool is used inside tmux, CI, remote shells, and other messy environments
  • The broader signal is that Anthropic is turning Claude Code into a configurable agent runtime, not just a coding assistant with a terminal UI
  • The new env-var surface hints at a fast-moving release train aimed at teams that need control, observability, and rollout flexibility
