Description

Task Summary

UserWorkflowListItemComponent is declared in AppModule but its selector texera-user-workflow-list-item appears in no template, so it is never rendered. HighlightSearchTermsPipe dies with it: the component's own template is the pipe's last remaining consumer.

History
Introduced by #1937 (2023-05-30) — "Refactored each workflow list item into its own component"
Usage removed by #2793 (2024-08-20) — "Generalize List Item" replaced it with the generic ListItemComponent, deleting the last two texera-user-workflow-list-item uses from search-results.component.html

The pipe has its own thread: introduced by #2386 (2024-02-16, "Highlight search terms in search result"), it kept a second consumer until #7463 (2026-08-29, "remove the deprecated project feature") dropped entry.name | highlightSearchTerms from that template. Since then the only place the pipe is used is this dead component, so the two must be removed together — remove the component alone and the pipe becomes dead in the same commit.

Dead for about two years. Pure deletion, no behaviour change: −1,104 lines (component 201 + template 210 + styles 21 + its spec 559, pipe 40 + its spec 67, plus six wiring lines).
