Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the RIDE test data editor using the listed steps, especially deleting a resource without selecting “Also delete resource imports.” Start by tracing how deleted resource files, resource imports, and keyword highlighting are connected. Done means keywords from an unavailable resource are no longer highlighted, while valid imported keywords remain highlighted.
