Research direction
Start by reproducing the flow through Dashboard > Jetpack > My Jetpack with Jetpack Complete applied, then trace the activation handling for the Social product and Jetpack Social installation. Done means Social features activate without installing the separate Jetpack Social plugin, and the existing activation behavior remains correct for other plans.
