Research direction
First, examine the existing compression implementations for other tools (e.g., eslint, tsc) in the rtk codebase to understand the pattern. Then, investigate pyright's output format to determine if it is structured similarly and can be compressed. Look for any existing comments or linked PRs that may provide guidance. Finally, propose a plan for adding pyright support, including any necessary changes to the codebase.
