+ * Loading a lexicon's plugin so completeness checks can look at what it

+ *
+ * `check-lexicon`'s checks were almost all existence assertions over the
+ * directory: `src/lsp/completions.ts exists`, `At least 1 lint rule in
+ * src/lint/rules/`. A file with the right name is not the contract — the
+ * contract is the member the plugin exposes, because that is what core
+ * dispatches through. helm is the proof: it ships `src/lsp/completions.ts` and
+ * `src/lsp/hover.ts`, both with passing tests, exports `helmCompletions` and
+ * `helmHover` from its index, and never sets `completionProvider` or
+ * `hoverProvider` on the plugin. `cli/lsp/server.ts` dispatches through exactly
+ * those fields, so helm's LSP support is unreachable in an editor — while tier 1
+ * (the files) and tier 2 (the tests) both passed.
+ *
+ * Resolution is directory-local rather than by package name: `chant dev
+ * check-lexicon <dir>` should work on a lexicon that is not installed, and
+ * `loadPlugin` in ../plugins.ts imports `@intentius/chant-lexicon-<name>`,
