To ensure marketplaces are always up-to-date: 1. Get list of installed marketplaces via 'claude plugin marketplace list' 2. Parse output to extract names (lines starting with ❯) 3. Remove all existing marketplaces 4. Add the new marketplaces fresh Also added comprehensive tests for marketplace removal functionality. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

@csy1204 mind fixing the type error? |
Replace fragile arrow (❯) symbol parsing with structured JSON output from `claude plugin marketplace list --json` command. This approach is: - HUD-agnostic: Works regardless of terminal/HUD styling - Robust: Won't break if CLI output format changes - Type-safe: Properly typed MarketplaceEntry interface Also fixes TypeScript type error in test mock function signature.

Summary
Fixes an issue on self-hosted runners where the Claude Code action fails with "Marketplace already installed" error because marketplaces from previous workflow runs persist in the runner's environment (
~/.claude/).Changes
Before adding marketplaces, the action now:
claude plugin marketplace list --jsonto get installed marketplacesclaude plugin marketplace removeKey Improvement: JSON Output Instead of Arrow Parsing
Before (fragile):
Configured marketplaces:
❯ marketplace-name
Source: Git (url)
Parsing arrow (
❯) symbols is fragile and dependent on CLI display formatting.After (robust):
[ { "name": "marketplace-name", "source": "git", "url": "https://example.com/repo.git", "installLocation": "/root/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/marketplace-name" } ]Using --json flag provides structured output that:
