Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Shopify/theme-graph allowed each file to be able to tell if it has a reference or dependency to another file.
There is currently a command you can run in VSCode to tell you if you have orphaned files.
It would be nice if on start-up an prompt appears at the bottom of VSCode to tell you to remove orphaned files.
Describe the solution you'd like
- Need a nice way of telling the developer when they have orphaned files that isn't hidden in VSCode

Research direction
Start by locating the existing VSCode command that reports orphaned files and review how theme-graph exposes file references or dependencies. Define the startup notification behavior from the issue, including when it appears and what it tells the developer; done means orphaned files are surfaced without requiring the command to be run manually.
