Description

Need to come back and test this later

I think I've changed a step name in a local project file. Then tried to deploy. And I've been given a super wierd diff in which step ids have changed.

There's some logic to generate a step id from a name. We need to check that we only do this if a step id isn't already present. Obviously the id will never get sent to lightning, but it seems OK to keep the local state.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the logic that generates step IDs from names, then reproduce a deploy after renaming a step while retaining its existing ID. Done means an existing local step ID is preserved and the deployment diff no longer changes that ID unexpectedly; add or run the relevant regression coverage.
