Description

I've had a couple debugging sessions that went like this:

  1. We added a new local_resource to the Tiltfile
  2. The resource didn't show up in the sidebar
  3. MADNESS
  4. Oh, wait, enabled_resources is hiding it

Seems like we should have some way to display when resources are being filtered, e.g.,
During tiltfile execution, log the names of the disabled resources
Some UX in the sidebar like '5 resources disabled, click here for more'

Research direction

Start by tracing how config/enabled_resources is applied during Tiltfile execution and how the sidebar receives its resource list. Define a user-visible indication for filtered resources, then verify that users can identify which resources are disabled and why.
