Research direction

Start in micro/linter.lua at the lint("gobuild", "go", {"build", "-o", devnull}, "%f:%l: %m") entry. Reproduce the Windows case with go build -o NUL and the reported .\puzzle.go errors, then inspect how that output is parsed. Done means Go build errors on Windows are recognized and reported with the expected file, line, and message.
