Abstract
In some multi-stage software build pipelines, downstream compiler errors may be reported against ephemeral, machine-generated intermediate artifacts rather than original, human-written source code, which can make remediation challenging. A system and method may address this by intercepting a downstream error, mapping its location back to the original source file, and programmatically injecting a dormant suppression tag into the original source code. During a subsequent build, an intermediate transpiler can propagate this tag into a newly generated intermediate artifact. In the intermediate file, the tag may become active and be recognized by the downstream compiler as a directive to suppress the specific error. This approach can facilitate an automated remediation process for certain build failures that avoids direct modification of ephemeral files and uses the original source code as a record for suppression.
