Research direction

Start by tracing how the build and serve commands format file paths and errors in terminal output; the issue does not identify repository files or tests. Clarify whether OSC 9;4 progress reporting is in scope alongside OSC 8 hyperlinks. Done should include clickable error filenames in supported terminals and a defined, tested progress behavior if that second request remains included.
