Closes #14132

I don't think this is supposed to be under `Diagnostics`, but it does make sense in a way :shrug: (it's probably where someone might look).

 You can set the `RA_LOG` environment variable to `rust_analyzer=info` to inspect how rust-analyzer handles config and project loading.
 
-Note that calls to `cargo check` are disabled when using `rust-project.json` by default, so compilation errors and warnings will no longer be sent to your LSP client. To enable these compilation errors you will need to specify explicitly what command rust-analyzer should run to perform the checks using the `checkOnSave.overrideCommand` configuration. As an example, the following configuration explicitly sets `cargo check` as the `checkOnSave` command.

The `--message-format=json` flag does this for `cargo check` so whichever command you use must also output errors in this format. See the <<Configuration>> section for more information.

 While most errors and warnings provided by rust-analyzer come from the `cargo check` integration, there's a growing number of diagnostics implemented using rust-analyzer's own analysis.
 Some of these diagnostics don't respect `\#[allow]` or `\#[deny]` attributes yet, but can be turned off using the `rust-analyzer.diagnostics.enable`, `rust-analyzer.diagnostics.experimental.enable` or `rust-analyzer.diagnostics.disabled` settings.

 Instead of relying on the built-in `cargo check`, you can configure Code to run a command in the background and use the `$rustc-watch` problem matcher to generate inline error markers from its output.
