MACOS PYTHON 3.9 HITTING 13.6% OF SESSIONS, SECURITY PATCH SHIPS
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Anthropic
Claude's plugin infrastructure is bleeding users on macOS because Apple's bundled Python 3.9 can't run the agentic reviewer, and a fix just landed.
The telemetry is stark: v2.0.6 showed roughly 13.6% of macOS sessions (6,337 users) hitting HOOK_PY_INCOMPATIBLE when Python 3.9 can't load 3.10+ syntax, a degradation 12 times worse than the baseline macOS build-failure rate [1] [2]. The root cause is surgical: sg-python.sh only probes python3.1x on PATH, so users with a newer interpreter installed elsewhere have nothing to find. v2.0.7 now instruments non-PATH probe paths to catch those interpreters before the agentic reviewer fails to load [1]. In parallel, Telegram v0.0.7 ships a reliability rollup that fixes four independent regressions, including state-directory config divergence where skills hardcoded paths while the server honored environment overrides [3] [4]. The knowledge-work-plugins desk is cycling through SHA bumps for carta-investors, carta-cap-table, carta-crm, wix, and langfuse, all validated via claude plugin validate before PR open [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]. On the SDK front, claude-agent-sdk-python v0.2.137 surfaces ConversationResetMessage for conversation reset events, widening the Message union so exhaustive pattern matches will need updating [10].
