Description
When using VS Code, I regularly find myself in a workflow where I'm writing tests, making adjustments, and running the tests. In this scenario I regularly find myself in a situation where my test run is temporarily blocked by Cargo because a cargo check or cargo clippy is still running.
If my understanding is correct, both the request for running the test and the request for Clippy is submitted by Rust Analyzer. Would it be possible for Rust Analyzer to prioritize the test run so I don't have to wait for Clippy to finish first? I would even be content if it means killing the Clippy request and restarting it when the test run is complete.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Rust Analyzer schedules requests for running tests, cargo check, and cargo clippy. Determine where a test request waits on an active check or Clippy request, then verify that tests can run without that blockage and that Clippy resumes or restarts afterward.
