Install plugin into sandbox but don't depend on it?

IntelliJ Platform
1

I have a plugin which for dev purposes, I have the “Live Plugin” installed into the sandbox

dependencies {
    testImplementation(libs.junit)
    testImplementation(libs.opentest4j)
    testImplementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test")

    intellijPlatform {
        clion("2025.1.2")
        bundledPlugin("com.intellij.cidr.base")
        bundledPlugin("com.intellij.cidr.lang")
        bundledPlugin("com.intellij.clion.meson")
        plugin("LivePlugin:0.9.6 beta")
        pluginVerifier()
    }
}

However when the plugin is updated using “buildPlugin” gradle task, then dynamic reload fails on the Live Plugin:

Can i install the “LivePlugin”, but not “depend” on it, so it is not restarted when the GirPlugin is updated?
