[JetBrains] Verify why logic to bypass consent modal fails sometimes

[andreafalzetti]

Description

Installing third-party plugins in JetBrains IDEs via .gitpod.yml fail sometimes due to the consent modal.

Things to verify:

• We correctly handle removal of alien_plugins.txt (no false positive caused by os.Remove throwing syscall.EOENT when file does not exist)

• Check if consent is skipped for plugins installed via a custom registry [1]

• Verify logic at restart

• Related code: [1]

• Relevant chats (internal): [1], [2]

This could be related or a duplicated of this ticket: #13770

@andreafalzetti I think it is not applicable after #14566 We don't match config folder anymore, but precompute it. Closing?

[andreafalzetti]

I am probably missing some context because I am not following what you said.. As far as I understand at the moment, the consent modal could still be an issue sometimes?

The issue were noticed in both prebuild situations or when using a custom registry.

Happy to close if these scenarios are not happening now
