Description

What would you like to be added:

Lens should keep object details panel open even when related object has been removed from k8s api.

Why is this needed:

It would make debugging of these pods show much easier. It's pretty annoying to see details panel closing just when you are trying to read/copy some critical information from there.

Research direction
Investigate the object details panel component in Lens, likely located in the `src/renderer/components/+kube object details` or similar directory. The issue is to prevent the panel from closing when the Kubernetes object is deleted. You'll need to examine how the panel listens for object removal and modify the state to keep it open. Look for any existing comments or maintainer discussions in the repository about this behavior.
