# The checks nobody runs

Twice now a script in this repository has been quietly wrong for weeks. Both
times it was found by accident rather than by anything failing. This is the
inventory of everything in the tree that asserts something real and is not
reached by `dune test`, what each of them says today, and what was done about
the general problem.

## The plan

1. Sweep `spike/`, `web/`, `tools/`, `emacs/` and `test/` for anything that
   checks something and is not on a dune alias. Run every one of them; record
   pass or fail honestly rather than assuming.
2. Give `web/examples/check.sh` and `web/examples/quotes.sh` an opt-in alias in
   the shape `@x86` already established, with the same kind of comment saying
   why they are opt-in.
3. Decide what would actually have caught the two known failures within a day,
   given that an opt-in alias is only marginally better than a script — both
   require somebody to type them.

## Red on arrival

`web/examples/quotes.sh` fails, eleven checks of forty-odd. It is not
re-recorded to make it green: every one of its failures is a real statement on
`web/index.html` that has stopped being true, and three of them are the page
claiming a language feature is unimplemented when it now works. That is a
content decision for the author, written up below rather than papered over.
