Feature: Maintain browsing state after plugin installation
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
When using the /plugin command to browse the marketplace and install a plugin, the UI resets to the initial state (start of the Discover tab) after installation completes.
Proposed Solution
After installing a plugin, maintain the previous browsing context:
- Stay on the same tab (Discover, Installed, etc.)
- Preserve scroll position within the plugin list
- Keep any active search/filter terms if applicable
- Show brief success confirmation without navigation disruption
User browses Discover tab → Scrolls to plugin → Clicks Install
↓
Shows inline "✓ Installed" confirmation
↓
Remains at the same position, ready to continue browsing
Additional Considerations
- Could add a subtle toast notification for install success
- "Installed" tab could optionally auto-update in the background
- Preserve state even if the user switches tabs within the plugin browser

Use Case Example
When evaluating multiple plugins from a marketplace (e.g., exploring several plugins for a workflow), the current behaviour requires:
- Scroll/navigate to find a plugin
- Install it
- Re-open /plugin
- Navigate back to where you were
- Repeat for each plugin
This friction discourages exploration and slows down the plugin discovery experience.
