-`checks-lint` runs these gates, each over the working tree or over the range it resolves, and names every one that fails.
-`checks-lint` runs every applicable gate, including the TypeScript gates once the repository tracks TypeScript.
-Each gate belongs to the vector it judges a repository on, and the table groups the gates by vector.

+The base honours `exports` maps, so a subpath the map publishes resolves and passes, and a subpath it omits fails to resolve and is reported.
