Research direction
The issue requests that the diagnostic for missing FormattableStringFactory should include the platform version. Likely requires modifying the diagnostic message in the relevant code file (e.g., in the compiler's error reporting). Look for where FormattableStringFactory is referenced in the codebase and update the corresponding error string. Since there is no body, clarify with maintainers if a specific format is expected.
