Research direction

Start at internal/cli/common/run_flags.go around line 198 and compare how the lint and run commands determine which checks to apply. Reproduce the difference by running lint and run on the same configuration; done means both commands report the same linting errors.

Description

cli needs more info

Due to this code https://github.com/redpanda-data/benthos/blob/4d6fce617665d27d5599fc4a6b44769193d09cb9/internal/cli/common/run_flags.go#L198

we have cases, where calling lint works but run fails (with linting errors).
