description: User prefers Live Coding (Ctrl+Alt+F11) over CLI build when UE editor is open
type: feedback

When UE editor is open, ask the user to do a Live Coding compile (Ctrl+Alt+F11) instead of trying CLI build. Only ask to close UE for a full rebuild when Live Coding is not sufficient (e.g., header changes that require UHT, new .generated.h files, Build.cs changes).

**Why:** User finds Live Coding simpler and faster for iteration. CLI build fails when Live Coding is active.

**How to apply:** After code changes, tell the user to press Ctrl+Alt+F11. If changes involve new UCLASS/USTRUCT/UENUM declarations, new files, or Build.cs modifications, warn that a full restart of UE + CLI build is needed instead.
