Description

The compiler is capable of producing both warnings and errors at once, so I don't see any reason not to expose warnings from the API in the case where compilation fails.

Research direction

Start by tracing the API path that handles failed compilation and inspect how the compiler's warnings and errors are collected. Done means the API exposes warnings alongside errors when compilation fails, with behavior covered by the relevant existing tests.
