Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When trying to use the application in debug=True mode, not dealing with all errors one by one. If I have a components that I need to interact with on the right side of the screen, they become hidden by error messages, no longer being able to use without turning all errors off. This is not welcome as new error messages do not automatically show.

Describe the solution you'd like
If we could hide/dismiss individual or "known" issues from the error detail on the right side of the screen, to where when all messages have been dismissed, that the error messages placeholder would also disappear. This would allow for continued use of the site without hinderance.

Then, if you want to see all the errors again, you interact through the menu on the bottom

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have considered writing my own javascript code to dismiss the individual elements of the by adding buttons to each message.

Research direction

Start by locating the debug=True error detail panel and the bottom menu that controls error visibility. Clarify how individual dismissal, automatic display of new errors, the empty-state placeholder, and restoring all errors should work before identifying the relevant frontend entry points and tests.
