Why does NetBeans keep the Deploy menu enabled after a failed deployment?

The goal is to understand why NetBeans does not alter the state of the Deploy menu after a deployment attempt fails, leaving the menu enabled and providing no visual cue that the previous attempt was unsuccessful.
This behavior appears consistent across recent NetBeans releases, yet the documentation does not specify whether the menu should remain active or be disabled, and it is unclear if the IDE relies on an external listener to update UI state based on deployment outcomes.
Does NetBeans intentionally keep the Deploy menu enabled to allow quick re‑try, is there a hidden setting to change this behavior, and should the IDE show a warning icon or tooltip after a failed deployment?
