Description

In a setup with at least one namespaced package, where I change something in the namespaced package, errors for a consuming package only appear on the problems tab when at least one file of the consuming package is open in VSCode.

I made a repository to demonstrate this behaviour: https://github.com/fhammerschmidt/rescript-vscode-problems-tab

Research direction

Start with the linked reproducer repository and reproduce the issue in VSCode with a namespaced package and a consuming package. Trace how errors reach the Problems tab when no consuming-package file is open; done means those errors appear without opening a file in the consuming package.
