Research direction

Start with scripts/update_builtin_commands.sh and scripts/update_builtin_functions.sh, then review the repository's GitHub Actions configuration. Determine how these scripts should be scheduled to inspect Vim source files periodically. Done means the scheduled workflow runs both scripts successfully and updates the generated built-ins when needed.
