Research direction

Start by locating the lfric_styling scripts and the logic that processes OpenMP directives in imported UM modules. Check how existing directive keywords are matched, then verify that STATIC, PARALLEL, SCHEDULE, NO WAIT, and DEFAULT are converted to lowercase; run the relevant styling checks if the repository provides them.
