Error message formatting
Metadata
Current evaluation
Open feature request to customize Emitter.error output with a prefix and optional color; prefix support is absent, while warning output already accepts a prefix.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: Emitter.error() accepts a CraftError and report_error() emits str(error) unchanged, so the requested "Error: " prefix is not implemented. The comment explicitly endorses adding red output with NO_COLOR support; the prefix change is straightforward, but color requires additional terminal and platform behavior decisions.
