How to exploit ./hadrian/ghci to find errors quickly?

I would *love* to be doing this.  I have had HLS installed on my
machine for months, and have been using with Emacs.  But to say I have
trouble getting it work as advertised is an understatement.

For example, on the module I'm trying to diagnose, I'm getting just
one error message, on the first line:

  Data.Binary.Get.runGet at position 1844: not enough bytes

 > There's also "jump to next error" if you want that.

I can't find it using either "C-h f" or using the list of keybindings
at https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/page/keybindings/.  I think it
might be supported by flycheck, but "C-x `" simply says "No more
Flycheck errors."

In general, my experience is "sometimes it works and sometimes it
doesn't."  Even for things as simple as "M-." (find definition).

If you know of any resources on using HLS with GHC, I'd love to be
directed.  For example, when Emacs asks if I really want to watch
circa 5,000 directories, do I say "yes"?

I am **so eager** to get there.  But definitely not there yet.
