Research direction

Locate the Angular scope-binding code in the repository and inspect how collection changes are watched. Compare the current watch setup with the deep-watch behavior shown in the issue, then verify that bound resource collections update through the intended callback without relying on $watchCollection.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I've hacked a fix using the deep watch syntax in my controller:

$scope.$watchCollection = function(variable, cb) {
    return $scope.$watch(variable, cb, true);
};

Could we replace $watchCollection with $watch(resourceName + "s", callback, true)?
