Description

Story (Outcome/Output) (Required)

When the converter fails to convert one or more rules, that fact should be clearly visible to the end user in the comments added to the PR.

Context

Currently, the error is only hidden away in the logs of the conversion, and no visible warning or issue is shown, beyond the fact the rule output will not be created.

Definition of Done (Required)

Whenever an error occurs during conversion, that error is present in the user accessible output of the conversion job. The same should also be true for the integrator and deployer.

Dependencies (Required)

None

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the current error handling in the conversion logic and identify where errors are logged but not surfaced to the end user. Then modify the output to include error messages in the PR comments or user visible logs.
