Version Check — Claude Code Update Awareness

After a Claude Code update, run this to understand what changed and whether the D-ND plugin should adapt.

Check current version

The system_awareness hook reports Claude Code version at session start. If you see a version change, investigate.

What to check after an update

  1. New hook events: Does the new version support hook events we don't use yet?
  2. New tool capabilities: Are there new tools available?
  3. Plugin system changes: Has the plugin format evolved?
  4. Performance improvements: Memory fixes, context window changes?
  5. Security changes: New permission modes, sandbox changes?

Investigation procedure
