Description

### Description

Using "Reuse Output Tabs from Finished Processes" is a nice space or tab safer. However, after e.g. a build process is finished and then replaced by another maven process, I have nowhere an information, if at least the build was successfull. So thats my feature request. I want the tabs to be reused but I want somehow (I know: very concrete :) ) somewhere the information, that the previous run was successfull or not. Maybe some kind of build history. Or maybe there is already some kind to achieve this but I simply don't know.

### Use case/motivation

I want to have information if builds were successful without having the output tab any more.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing consecutive Maven runs with "Reuse Output Tabs from Finished Processes" enabled and inspect how finished output is represented. Done means users can reuse tabs while still determining whether earlier Maven builds succeeded or failed, with the final history or status design agreed.
