Description of Issue:

On a fresh WordPress install, activating MainWP Dashboard v5.4.0.20 on PHP 8.4.x generates 1-time database errors in the WordPress debug log. The errors report missing MainWP tables during activation:

Table '...wp_mainwp_wp' doesn't exist (called from MainWP_DB->get_websites_count via MainWP_Logger->get_log_status)
Table '...wp_mainwp_api_keys' doesn't exist (called from MainWP_DB->is_existed_enabled_rest_key during REST API checks)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a fresh WordPress site.
2. Install and activate MainWP Dashboard 5.4.0.20.
3. Check the WordPress debug log (WP_DEBUG_LOG enabled) immediately after activation.
4. Observe entries similar to:

Table 'local.wp_mainwp_api_keys' doesn't exist for query SELECT * FROM wp_mainwp_api_keys WHERE enabled = 1 LIMIT 1 made by activate_plugin, plugin_sandbox_scrape, include_once('/plugins/mainwp/mainwp.php'), MainWP\Dashboard\MainWP_System->__construct, MainWP\Dashboard\MainWP_Includes->includes, require_once('/plugins/mainwp/includes/class-mainwp-setup.php'), MainWP_Setup::instance, MainWP_Setup->__construct, MainWP_Setup->includes, include_once('/plugins/mainwp/includes/rest-api/controller/version1/class-mainwp-rest-api-v1.php'), MainWP\Dashboard\Rest_Api_V1->init, MainWP\Dashboard\Rest_Api_V1->is_rest_api_enabled, MainWP\Dashboard\Rest_Api_V1->enabled_rest_v2_api, MainWP\Dashboard\MainWP_DB->is_existed_enabled_rest_key

Table 'local.wp_mainwp_wp' doesn't exist for query SELECT COUNT(wp.id) FROM wp_mainwp_wp wp WHERE 1 AND wp.is_staging = 0 made by activate_plugin, plugin_sandbox_scrape, include_once('/plugins/mainwp/mainwp.php'), MainWP\Dashboard\MainWP_System->__construct, MainWP\Dashboard\MainWP_Execution_Helper->init_exec_time, MainWP\Dashboard\MainWP_Logger::instance, MainWP\Dashboard\MainWP_Logger->__construct, MainWP\Dashboard\MainWP_Logger->get_log_status, MainWP\Dashboard\MainWP_DB->get_websites_count
