## About The Pull Request
The tool added in #72372 is pretty awesome. The output is uhh cryptic
though. I had to read the source code to realize the (line 382) or
whatever part of the message was the dmm line number and there's stack
traces everywhere. I've made it support github action error messages so
now you get this beauty if you mess up:
Or, in the run summary:
Errors parsing the lint yml's will also output github action errors,
although the line number will always be 1 since the yaml parser discards
line numbers to my knowledge.
In the midst of doing this, I made the error type contain the file and
line info, and added a bunch of type hints in the midst of trying to
understand Mothblock's code.
Note that for power users, the default behavior is still colored
terminal text; `--github` is added by the CI suite to enable this
behavior.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Much easier to see where the errors are and what they are (who even
knows what a 'pop' is? The tg game code calls them grid models.)
## Changelog
Nothing player-facing.

We should not be using greps to the capacity that we currently are. If
you are not smarter than a parser, then you should not try to beat one.
DMM files should NOT be treated as text files that can be parsed with
any old Unix tool. They are a structured language. Because of our abuse
of greps, check_greps is full of hard to read, hard to maintain checks
that do not consistently work, because they all make very specific
assumptions about how TGM works, which are provably untrue.
This format is mostly straightforward for the lints people write, and
easily extensible to the ones people will want to write.

fix: Fixes a bunch of cases of windows not being where they were
supposed to be, tables/chairs stacking on each other, and other very
small stuff you've never noticed before.
