Description
Aside from hard errors, the compiler is also outputing warnings that can help users improve the quality if their code. It might be useful to
- display the information in a summarized list form
- jump from the warnings to the exact code location in the correct editor tab
- display a warning icon next to the line in question in the editor
- make the behavior optional so as not to overwhelm beginner level users
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how compiler output and existing hard errors reach the editor, then map the warning list, source navigation, line markers, and optional behavior to existing UI patterns; done means all four requested behaviors work without overwhelming beginners.
