Description
The feature doesn't work if there are any other missing headers (including the one that needs to be added, but if it has a missing include path). e.g. in the screenshot the user is missing the "dirs" folder.

Research direction

Trace why the feature stops working, then verify that it can add the needed include when other headers are also missing.
