docs(plugins): add marketplace update vs plugin update distinction and auto-update mechanism (#84)
Background: - Users were confused about the difference between `marketplace update` (refreshes catalog) and `plugin update` (updates installed plugins) - Auto-update mechanism was not documented, causing confusion about why official marketplaces auto-refresh while third-party ones don't Changes: 1. Add "Managing Marketplaces" section in Plugin Marketplace chapter - Marketplace CLI commands with Important note clarifying the distinction 2. Add `plugin update` command to Plugin CLI Commands list 3. Add "Auto-Update" section after Installation Methods - Comparison table: official vs third-party default behavior - Environment variables: DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER, FORCE_AUTOUPDATE_PLUGINS Structure rationale: - Marketplace commands belong to Plugin Marketplace chapter (concept + commands together) - Auto-Update follows Installation Methods (logical flow: install → maintain) - Plugin CLI Commands stays focused on plugin management only Sources: - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/discover-plugins (auto-update documentation) - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugin-marketplaces (marketplace commands) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

```bash

# Marketplace CLI commands
|
||||
claude plugin marketplace add <source> # Add marketplace (GitHub, URL, local)

claude plugin marketplace update [name] # Refresh catalog index

claude plugin marketplace remove <name> # Remove marketplace

||||
claude plugin marketplace list # List configured marketplaces

```

> **Important**: `marketplace update` only refreshes the plugin catalog (what's available to install). It does NOT update installed plugins. Use `plugin update <name>` to update specific installed plugins.

## Auto-Update
|
||||
|
||||
Claude Code can automatically update marketplaces and their installed plugins at startup.
|
||||
|
||||
| Marketplace Type | Auto-Update Default | How to Toggle |
|
||||
|------------------|---------------------|---------------|
|
||||
| Official (`claude-plugins-official`) | ✅ Enabled | `/plugin` → Marketplaces → Select |
|
||||
| Third-party / Local | ❌ Disabled | Same UI path |
|
||||
|
||||
When auto-update runs, Claude Code:
|
||||
1. Refreshes marketplace catalog
|
||||
2. Updates installed plugins to latest versions
|
||||
3. Shows notification prompting `/reload-plugins`
