Research direction

Start by locating the implementation or build configuration for the mix_format_file command and compare its failure handling with the Elixir - mix format FILE build. Reproduce a formatting failure and confirm that the panel displays the command's output details as a quick reference for fixing the error.

Description

If formatting fails it does not show the output details for a quick reference on what to fix.

I noticed that the build Elixir - mix format FILE shows it just right.

Thanks for the attention.
