 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-08-09: made `script/check` run `script/lint` (closes #9). It previously
+  ran only `fmt-check` then `test`, so `script/lint` executed nowhere — not in
+  `make check`, not in the pre-commit hook, and not in CI, even though the
+  `Dockerfile` runs `make check` and `script/cibuild` builds it. It now runs
+  `test`, `lint`, `fmt-check` in the canonical order, so the
+  `hugo --printPathWarnings` render-target-collision signal is no longer
+  discarded. `README.md`'s Entrypoints line was corrected to match
