When a user adds the Webwright repo as a local marketplace
(`/plugin marketplace add /path/to/Webwright`), the plugin source
`{"source":"github","repo":"microsoft/Webwright"}` caused Claude Code
to attempt a second git clone from GitHub, which fails when SSH host
keys are not configured in the environment.
Using `"./"` as the plugin source tells Claude Code to use the already-
present marketplace directory as the plugin root, avoiding any network
request. This also works correctly for the GitHub marketplace path
(where the repo is cloned to cache) since the relative path resolves
to the same cached directory.

When a user adds the repo as a local marketplace and runs
/plugin install webwright@webwright, Claude Code readsmarketplace.json, seessource: github, and attempts to clone from GitHub again — even though the files are already present. This fails without SSH host keys.Solution
Using
"./"as the plugin source tells Claude Code to use the already-present marketplace directory as the plugin root. Works for both local and GitHub marketplace paths.Test plan
