What's Wrong?
The Directory dialog closes and the app navigates to the Claude chat tab. Nothing plugin-related opens, and there is no way to reach plugin settings from that button.
Reproducible every time, on an installed and enabled plugin whose card renders normally otherwise (icon, name, author and description all display correctly).
What Should Happen?
The plugin's management / settings view opens.
