Until v1.5.10 (2026-09-14), **no** plugin-cache install of AgentHub could ever see a published release — `pluginMarketplaceUrl` rejected this repo's own `"source": "./"` marketplace entry, so the status endpoint answered `release_check: "no_remote"` and the UI showed no version at all.

The fix ships *in* v1.5.10, so an install running 1.5.9 or earlier carries the broken check and cannot detect it. Every such machine needs the update run by hand exactly once:

```
claude plugin marketplace update claude-code-agent-monitor-plugins && claude plugin update agenthub@claude-code-agent-monitor-plugins -y
```

**Why:** a broken update-detector cannot deliver its own fix; nothing on that machine will ever offer the newer version.

**How to apply:** when someone reports "Check for updates shows nothing" on AgentHub, ask for their version first. ≤1.5.9 ⇒ it is this, hand them the command; ≥1.5.10 ⇒ it is a real new bug, investigate `server/lib/update-check.js`.
