Description

If a rule generates many errors for its own source, then check-previews-compile.js will fail, because it attempts to parse truncated JSON output. Setting maxBuffer to a larger value does not fix it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how child process.spawn or exec is used in check previews compile.js and determine why increasing maxBuffer doesn't help. Consider switching to a streaming approach (spawn with stdout piped to a file or using a transform stream) to avoid buffer truncation.
