Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing project recognition for a Java folder without Maven or Gradle files, then trace how the Project Manager handles invisible projects and whether a force option is supported. Done should include reliable recognition or an explicit way to treat the folder as a Java project.
