Research direction

Start with the requested Biome organize-imports behavior and compare it with the existing Spotless integrations for Java and Kotlin formatters. Use the Biome assist documentation linked in the issue to verify the check command, and consider the issue complete when organize-imports is supported while linting remains disabled.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I want to have biome run assists as well, particularly organize-imports.
This would require to run the check command, instead of format.

Various other formatters (java, kotlin...) support organizing imports via Spotless, so it should be quite natural to have Biome provide similar capabilities.

As discussed in #2275 linting is however not the focus of Spotless, hence should be disabled.
