Description

### Tested versions

v3.6.stable.official [de2f0f147]

### System information

w10 64

### Issue description

Files added to favorites as a script disappear from favorites after a few editor restarts and computer shutdowns. I can't say when exactly they do, but it's obvious that they disappear.
Folders can also disappear, although it seems less frequent. It just happened to me right now.

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reproducing the favorite-file and favorite-folder loss across editor restarts and Windows shutdowns, then trace where editor favorites are stored and restored. Done means favorites persist reliably after these restarts.
