This is frankly beautiful. It’s what I’ve seen demoed as peak compiler design in other languages, clear and helpful.

1. How hard is this to deliver?
2. Is this an unacceptable breaking change? (I hope not)
3. Does this fall apart in skinny terminals? ~40cols

1. How hard to deliver isn't really something we should worry about at design phase unless it's absolutely 'this isn't possible' - so far, I think it's generally possible
2. Offhand this would affect the vscode/GitHub Actions error detection regexes for logs, but other than that I'd assume anyone who is parsing text output would not consider the text a stable output
3. Nope, shouldn't do

I love it! — Very constrained horizontal still looks good, but you’ve identified the challenges, and some hypothetical tricks.

Agreed with rest of comments.
