Steps to Reproduce the Issue:
Place a villager (unemployed or whose workstation has been removed).
Place a workstation outside of the expected 64-block spherical detection range (e.g., at 70 blocks away).
Observe the villager as it attempts to pathfind or claim the workstation.
Compare behavior to Java Edition, where the detection range is limited to a 32-block radius sphere.
Expected Result:
Villagers should only be able to detect and link to workstations within a 64-block radius sphere (or remain unlinked if no station is within range), aligning with expected Bedrock mechanics and mirroring Java Edition’s consistent 32-block sphere logic.
Actual Result:
Villagers are able to detect and link to workstations placed beyond the 64-block detection radius, sometimes linking to stations over 70 blocks away. This leads to unintended behavior such as villagers pathfinding to distant locations or failing to use nearby stations, which breaks villager-based automation and trading setups.

My bad, I misread the report. This is indeed MCPE-63311
Can confirm. This bug is different, but possibly related to MCPE-63311
