Comment (by ironprogrammer):

 Thanks for the patch, @costdev, and thorough test scenarios,
 @hellofromTonya! 🎉 The tests above cover several plugins, but here's one
 more confidence check with WC.

 == Test Report
 Patch tested: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/6670

 Restores expected **Activate** button behavior (prior to 6.5) when
 activating a plugin with a setup workflow redirect.

 === Environment
 - Hardware: MacBook Pro Apple M1 Pro
 - OS: macOS 14.5
 - Browser: Safari 17.5
 - Server: nginx/1.25.5
 - PHP: 8.2.19
 - MySQL: 8.0.27
 - WordPress: 6.6-alpha-57778-src
 - Theme: twentytwentyfour v1.1
 - Plugin used for testing: WooCommerce (WC)

 === Actual Results
 - ✅ Activation from Add Plugins page redirects to WC setup wizard.
 - ✅ Activation from Add Plugins > More Details modal redirects to WC
 setup wizard.
 **Regression Checks (no changes expected)**
 - ✅ Activation from Installed Plugins page (main list) redirects to WC
 setup wizard.
 - ✅ After activation via wp-cli, first wp-admin pageload redirects to WC
 setup wizard.

 === Additional Notes
 - Used `wp transient set _wc_activation_redirect 1` between tests to mimic
 a

 /class-wc-install.php#L618 new WC install].
 - This patch mitigates the

 concern] when the More Details modal was triggered prior to refresh, as
 the setup wizard redirect is now immediate.
