Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing how the query result view is stored, cleared on restart, and reconstituted; inspect the required filesystem existence check. Done means valid query results survive restarts while results no longer present on the file system are not retained.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Complexity: Medium enhancement VSCode

The query result view is cleared after each restart. However, this is unfortunate for users who need to restart in order to apply upgrades or for other reasons.

We should allow queries to be retained after a restart. However, this is more complex than just saving the state before shutting down. When reconstituting queries after a restart, we need to check every one of them to make sure that the results still exist on the file system.
