Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Bypassing the pin without confirming which file the owner intended Other error fragments: - The archive was not installed. Verify the sha256 in the marketplace entry, or that the URL serves the intended file. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/errors#plugin-archive-integrity-check-failed (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Docs: sha256 pin mismatch refuses install; three listed causes.
