Research direction
Compare the two linked example files and reproduce the identifier-highlighting behavior in micro using C++ and Java on the reported terminal setup. Trace how syntax highlighting and color-link identifiers are selected, then verify that identifiers in both examples highlight consistently without breaking the existing .micro behavior.
