GitHub issue #14202 in anthropics/claude-code, opened 2025-12-16 by ianaswanson, records a report that a plugin installed with project scope in one project shows as installed in the Marketplaces view of other projects and cannot be installed there, while the Installed tab in the other project correctly does not list it, with the reporter attributing the mismatch to the Marketplaces indicator and the install command not checking projectPath.
Verbatim Excerpts from Cited Records
“When a plugin is installed with `--scope project`, other projects incorrectly show the plugin as "(installed)" in the Marketplaces view and refuse to install it, even though it's not active in those projects.”

Falsification probe: If issue #14202 is deleted without archive, if the author edits the opening body so the quoted lines no longer match verbatim, or if the author or maintainers post a definitive retraction showing the described behavior was mischaracterized, this claim drops to Withdrawn.
