Description

Editor will freeze during compile for what can be a long time. You can only tell something is actively happening by looking at the editor console if you have already launched it as a separate application window since it doesn't get frozen.

Research direction

Start by locating Alpakit's Create Mod action and the C++ rebuild/compile entry point. Trace how the editor console exposes build activity, then determine where a busy indication can remain visible while the editor is frozen. Done means Create Mod visibly indicates that rebuilding is in progress and stops indicating activity when the rebuild finishes.
