Research direction

Start with the Markdown Checks table and the -allow-errors output path; compare it with checks.typeCheck.failed in the JSON output to see where failed package names are available. Check README.md:1504 and skills/declscope-adoption/SKILL.md:173 for the promised behavior. Done when Markdown identifies failed packages or both docs accurately direct users to JSON.

Description

bug P3

README.md:1504 and skills/declscope-adoption/SKILL.md:173 say that -allow-errors "names it under type check". The Markdown row only counts, as in 0 packages ok, 1 failed, and nothing is printed on stderr. Only checks.typeCheck.failed in the JSON names the packages. It has been this way since #98.

Markdown is the default format, so it never tells you which package failed.

Suggested fix

List the failed packages under the Checks table in Markdown, which is what the docs promise. Or correct both documents to point to the JSON.
