Minor UX improvement: When updating plugins that aren’t active, don’t reload plugins

As a Roblox developer, it feels silly that Roblox refreshes plugins when the plugin isn’t active. This makes updating some edge-case plugins I don’t use a whole lot more of a pain.

Repro steps

  1. Update an inactive plugin
  2. Expected behavior: Plugins don’t refresh since it doesn’t affect anything
  3. Actual behavior: Plugins refresh, causing a 5 second delay on updating the next plugin

This is a minor UX improvement, but it would be nice.
