Description
Feature Request
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. Sometimes, quite often it is not clear if Clang-Tidy is running or experiencing a problem. Especially in automatic mode. Maybe it is taking a lot of time for the Clang-Tidy check to finish but it feels as if it's not running.
- Also maybe there should be information what Clang-Tidy version is installed.
- I'm getting errors from external/system headers. Can I disable that?

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by reproducing Clang-Tidy in automatic mode and examine how its running state and errors are surfaced; also check the requested version and external/system-header behavior. Done should make activity, installed version, and any supported header configuration clear to users.
