Description

Plugin files like `matomo/plugins/MyPlugin/.hidden` do not get copied into the cloned Matomo in https://github.com/matomo-org/github-action-tests/blob/main/scripts/bash/checkout_matomo.sh#L15.

They should be copied, as they might be or may become necessary for automated tests.

(In my case, the file is named `.wp-env.json` and is needed for a new test.)

Research direction

Start with scripts/bash/checkout_matomo.sh at line 15 and inspect how plugin files are copied into the cloned Matomo. Verify that a hidden file such as .wp-env.json from matomo/plugins/$PLUGIN_NAME is present afterward, including for the automated test case.
