Does Parasite get a second virus counter from its own 'when your turn begins' ability when Personal Workshop installs it during the start-of-turn step?

Several experienced players agree on this reading; no official ruling was found.

No. A relayed Lukas ruling says Parasite is not installed when the start-of-turn trigger window opens, so its own start-of-turn ability does not fire after Personal Workshop installs it. It still receives the Grimoire counter from the install. The ruling is reported by a forum poster, not posted by a designer.
