What are the characteristics of messages marked as warnings?

Messages marked as warnings are designed to bring attention to potential issues or situations that may require further consideration, without obstructing the ongoing processes. This means that while they highlight areas that could lead to complications or require action, they do not prevent tasks or workflows from continuing. Essentially, they function as alerts to monitor the situation more closely rather than as prohibitive messages.

In contrast, messages regarding critical errors or demands for immediate action represent situations where processing is halted or exceptional measures must be taken, which is not the case with warnings that still allow for progress. Thus, identifying messages as warnings is crucial for understanding that while they signal a need for attention, the workflow can generally proceed without immediate intervention.
