Checklist

• I tried the latest nightly build, and the issue is still reproducible
• I updated the debug information (yazi --debug) input box to the nightly that I tried
• I can reproduce it after disabling all custom configs/plugins (mv ~/.config/yazi ~/.config/yazi-backup)

[github-actions]

Hey @zooeywm, I noticed that you did not correctly follow the issue template. Please ensure that:

• The bug can still be reproduced on the newest nightly build.
• The debug information (yazi --debug) is updated for the newest nightly.
• All required fields in the checklist have been checked.

Issues with needs info will be marked ready once edited with the proper content, or closed after 2 days of inactivity.

The bug is caused by ~/.config/yazi, so (mv ~/.config/yazi ~/.config/yazi-backup) can not reproduce this bug

Looks like the warning doesn't consider the case that the plugin doesn't exist at all. Would you like to raise a PR to fix it? The code can be found in
