Research direction
Reproduce the issue by using Show Data on a table, then editing the resulting SQL in the MySQL Shell editor panel. No source file or test is named; trace the editor's syntax-highlighting entry point and compare its behavior with normal SQL editing. Done means the generated SQL receives consistent syntax highlighting rather than random colors.
