More information:

I just noticed this in the server log:

Importmap skipped missing path: controllers/full_screen_controller.js
Importmap skipped missing path: controllers/element_closer_controller.js
Importmap skipped missing path: controllers/share_controller.js
Importmap skipped missing path: controllers/xxx_controller.js

That explains why these are not showing up in . But it’s still not clear why these specifically are “missing”.

P.S. When I physically delete the app/assets/javascript/controllers/xxx_controller.js the message:

Importmap skipped missing path: controllers/xxx_controller.js

Is not reported any longer. Suggesting something is seeing these files but reporting them as “missing”.
