#60688: Plugin Dependencies Not Enforced After Manual Code Modification to Add
Dependency

 **Expected Behavior:** A plugin with specified dependencies should only
 activate if all dependencies are installed and active.
 **Observed Behavior:** After adding dependency declarations within a
 plugin's code, the plugin remains active (if it was already active when
 code changes were made not as plugin update even if its dependencies are
 not met. )
 The plugin does not adhere to the intended dependency flow and must be
 manually deactivated for changes to take effect.

 Steps to reproduce :
 1) Install the beta version of WordPress on a test environment.
 2) Install two plugins:
 Plugin A (the plugin you'll modify)
 Plugin B (a dependency for Plugin A)
 3)Edit the code of Plugin A: Include code that explicitly declares Plugin
 B as a dependency.
