Description

It would be nice if the folding indicators would signify the presence of errors in their elided range, currently I can see in the gutter that some errors are somewhere in my viewport, but no clue where. (Yes F8 or consulting the problems pane would help here, but that's not always what I want)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how fold indicators are rendered in VS Code's editor and how error decorations are applied to the gutter. Look at the CodeEditorWidget and related classes to understand where to add error iconography on the fold indicator.
