Description

A tactic `[ t ] used in a tactic definition my_tac at line L column C in file X that is used in file Y produces output (a server message) at line L column C of file Y (independent of where the tactic my_tac was used in file Y).

Research direction

Reproduce the reported behavior using a tactic definition containing [ t ] in file X and a use from file Y, tracking the reported line and column. Compare the tactic definition location with the server message location and consult the linked Zulip discussion to determine the expected output location; done means the message points to the actual use site.
