Description
Code
struct S;
#[diagnostic::on_unimplemented(
message = "unable to generate binding for function",
label = "Some label",
note = "note 1",
note = "note 2",
note = "note 3",
)]
trait Failure7<'a> {}
impl<'a> Clone for S where S: Failure7<'a> {
fn clone(&self) -> Self {
unreachable!()
}
}
fn main() {
fn take_clone(_: impl Clone) {}
take_clone(S);
}

Rationale and extra context
The output should include the provided label and note values, as it does when depending on the trait bound directly.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the provided Rust code with rustc 1.83.0 and compare this transitive-bound diagnostic with the direct trait-bound case, where the label and notes appear. Trace the compiler's on_unimplemented diagnostic handling for these two paths; done means the transitive error includes the supplied label and all three notes without regressing the existing output.
