Description

Sometimes diagnostics can come from multiple projects (proj0, proj1, etc). But we don't show any information about that. We need to include that information in some form, even if hidden behind a verbosity flag.

This will help developers figure out which project is causing this. Sometimes the errors come from standalone projects, but it's hard to know that.

Research direction

Start by tracing how diagnostics for missing files are produced and formatted when multiple projects such as proj0 and proj1 are involved. Determine how standalone projects are represented and whether verbosity is already supported. Done means the error identifies its source project in a documented, usable form without obscuring the existing diagnostic.
