I have not found anything and am not sure where does the extensible build tools proposal stand currently, but invoking `make test` somewhere would definitely help prevent these issues in the future.

The "command plugins" are still underway through swift evolution, though they're there in nightly builds of toolchains if you wanted to play around a bit. Though nightly builds are not recommended for production builds of course. To track the plugin proposal's progress (and info how to use them in the nightly toolchain), see here: [SE-0332: Package Manager Command Plugins - #10 by abertelrud](https://forums.swift.org/t/se-0332-package-manager-command-plugins/53769/10)
