If the contents are unchanged, it reuses the existing extraction and logs \"Inline plugin zip unchanged; loading...\" instead of extracting the zip again.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis avoids unnecessary re-extraction work when reloading a plugin whose zip file hasn't actually changed.\n\n- Area: Plugin Install\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
