Research direction
Reproduce the problem from the control panel Plugin Store using Craft CMS 5.6.13 and compare it with manual installation under Settings→Plugins. Trace the installation flow until the plugin is added but not installed; done when a Plugin Store installation completes immediately and the regression is covered by a relevant test.
