Research direction

The payload names only lesson 27, practice 2 (L27.P2) and a screenshot showing built-in types left unhighlighted in the practice editor; it does not name the highlighting file. Before editing, check linked pull request #1435, which was closed without merging, to see why that attempt was dropped. Done means String and Vector2 are colored like other GDScript keywords in that practice, confirmed in the browser.
