Description

There is an Android project with three modules: a, b, and c. Suppose modules b and c both contain a string resource with the same name - common_ok. Modules b and c are included in module a. In module a, there is an XML file(layout) that uses the string resource common_ok. How will the :a :projectHealth DAGP task advice which dependency to add or remove?

There is a suspicion that [this issue](https://github.com/autonomousapps/dependency-analysis-gradle-plugin/issues/1029) occurs due to this particular case.

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #1029 and the :a :projectHealth advice for the three-module Android scenario with duplicate common_ok resources in modules b and c. Trace how the plugin determines the dependency advice for module a, and verify whether the observed behavior matches the expected result described in this issue.
