Description

@josephfusco

Plugin zip artifacts from PR builds are not recognized as valid WordPress plugins during installation.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Download the plugin artifact from a PR build (e.g., hwp-previews.zip)
  2. Upload via WP Admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
  3. Installation fails

Error:

Installing plugin from uploaded file: hwp-previews.zip
Unpacking the package…
Installing the plugin…
The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.

Expected:

Plugin installs successfully (as it did before, and as release builds do)
