Description
When iteratively working in "build" mode, the overall status of the compilation isn't immediately obvious in the "Execution" pane if there are many warnings shown at the top of the "Standard Error" sub-pane, and errors need to be scrolled down to. It would be useful to show overall status information (compilation either passed or failed) with e.g. a "Status" sub-pane above "Standard Error" which can be an overall success/failure indication, or else the "Standard Error" subpane title could incorporate the status of the compilation in the title itself (e.g. using "Standard Error (SUCCESS)" or "Standard Error (FAILURE)" as the title).
Alternatively, the execution pane could be automatically scrolled down to the bottom so that any errors are immediately visible to the user.

Research direction
Start by locating the Execution pane and its Standard Error sub-pane in the Rust Playground interface, then reproduce build mode with warnings and errors. Done means the compilation success or failure is immediately visible without scrolling, using a status indicator, updated title, or automatic scrolling as appropriate.
