Claude Code v2.1.269 adds plugin eval, output-style switching, and Bash edit diffs

Version 2.1.269 of Claude Code adds a command to run a plugin's eval suite and get scored, reproducible results, plus a way to list and switch output styles. The update also includes a diff of files changed by Bash commands when a setting is enabled.

The most practical addition is `claude plugin eval`, which runs a plugin's eval suite against Claude Code and returns scored, reproducible results in JSON and HTML. This lets you test plugin behavior consistently. The update also adds `/output-style [name]` to list and switch output styles, including over Remote Control and in cloud and headless sessions. A new setting, `bashEditDiffEnabled`, shows a diff of files changed by Bash commands in the Bash tool result.
