DYN-5654 - Fix Watch node data preview for dictionary keys containing ':'#17080
Conversation
…eview When a dictionary key contains ':', the WatchViewModel.ViewPath property was incorrectly splitting the path string on ':' and returning only the last segment - showing an empty string instead of the full key. Fix: store the dictionary key explicitly in a new `DictionaryKey` internal property on WatchViewModel, and use it in ViewPath instead of parsing the path. Set DictionaryKey in DefaultWatchHandler for all three dictionary child-building code paths (DesignScript.Builtin.Dictionary, IDictionary, and MirrorData). Also adds a unit test that directly verifies ViewPath returns the full key (including any ':' characters) for dictionary children.

@copilot - answer only, would any of these changes be considered a breaking api change? |
No breaking API changes. Specifically:
No entries need to be added to |

from copilot: "No breaking API changes. Specifically: DictionaryKey is internal, so it is not part of the public API surface at all. |
