Plugin Installation Duplicate Detection

Entry

ChangesSection of the release

Plugin installation now checks if a plugin is already installed before attempting reinstallation. If a plugin with the same name and scope already exists, a clear message is shown: Plugin '<name>' is already installed (scope: <scope>).

Evidence

Plugin duplicate check (search for "is already installed") — CLK at line ~229155

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
