Description
(This probably applies to the :RescriptBuild command as well)
On format, the users quickfix list should not be wiped, since it can be a list of stuff unrelated to Rescript.
Currently, it is getting wiped here:
https://github.com/rescript-lang/vim-rescript/blob/08de54132587131e762b036c11e0e9a9603992fa/autoload/rescript.vim#L164
I think this should be achievable using quickfix IDs.
Thanks

Research direction
Start in autoload/rescript.vim at the linked line around 164 and trace how :RescriptFormat updates the quickfix list. Check whether the same behavior occurs for :RescriptBuild. Done means formatting and building no longer wipe unrelated user quickfix entries, using the quickfix IDs approach suggested in the issue.
