Summary

Interactive plugin actions now describe workspace refreshes as part of the user-requested operation instead of exposing a separate “Syncing…” implementation phase.

• Use “Updating…” throughout plugin install, update, mode, removal, and skill-selection flows.
• Keep completion messages action-focused: “Installed”, “Updated”, or “Removed”.
• Remove every user-facing “Syncing…” and “...and synced” message from the TUI plugin actions.

Validation

• bun run build
• bun run typecheck
• bun run lint
• bun test — 1,326 passed, 5 skipped
• bun run test:e2e — 116 passed, 4 skipped
• Built dist/index.js, created a temporary workspace, installed code-review@anthropics/claude-plugins-official, and exercised Plugins → Update all with agent-tui; the update completed successfully without exposing a separate sync phase.
• Confirmed src/cli/tui/actions/plugins.ts contains no user-facing Syncing or synced labels.

Post-Deploy Monitoring & Validation

No additional operational monitoring is required because this changes interactive copy only. After release, exercise plugin actions in the TUI and confirm their progress remains action-focused; any visible “Syncing…” phase is the rollback trigger.
