Description

Mode is shown as "not installed" during update via "update all"

Steps to Reproduce

  1. nstall the old AndroidMode from #640.
  2. click "Updates (1)"
  3. update the mode from updates tab (mode immediately disapears on update tab)
  4. switch (immediately) to Modes tab and see that AndroidMode is reported to be "not installed" instead of "updating"
  5. the mode will appear as installed once it really is fully updated.

Fun fact: when you press "install" during the update, your settings (sdk path) will be lost.

Research direction

Reproduce the update through the Updates (1) tab, then switch immediately to the Modes tab and observe AndroidMode's state. Trace the update/install flow that controls these tabs, then verify that the mode remains marked as updating during the operation, becomes installed afterward, and preserves the SDK path setting.
