Research direction

The issue names a local resource explorer and PSModulePath session management, but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing WinGet Studio UI and PowerShell/module-path handling. Done means the explorer supports troubleshooting missing resources, session changes persist within WinGet Studio, and replacing the current user's PSModulePath is an explicit option.

Description

Issue-Feature
Description of the new feature / enhancement

You definitely a local "resource explorer" for the MLP along with the PSModulePath management (to prepend to PSModulePath).
That would also help troubleshooting when a resource is not found.

PSModulePath should be changed only within the WinGet Studio session, but be persistent to WinGet Studio.
Replacing current user's PSModulePath can be a button/option.
