Suggested Solution

Remove bogus errors due to later stages not being run while viewing earlier stages so as to reduce cognitive load and not to drown helpful actionable errors and warnings.

It looks like you have the rudy heatmap turned on. Are you suggesting with automatically disable that?

The GUI config file is shared between all my openroad use-cases, I must have recently looked at the heatmap for another design.

I dont want to get into what scope config files should be saved in, but I certainly find bogus error messages when I switch between designs surprising and noisy.
