Description

if someone's doing a big refactor in another PR, or the file was changed on the main branch, would be cool to learn about it before i write a bunch of code that will result in an annoying merge conflict to resolve.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the proposed UI image and the issue's merge-conflict warning scenario. Then identify the repository entry points for tracking open pull requests and edited files. Done means the extension warns when the current file is changed in an open pull request or on the main branch, with the proposed UI behavior implemented.
