Each target's row shows its result as soon as its check ends (closes #91)

tick drew no row until the round's slowest check ended, up to 24
seconds at a 30-second interval since checks time out at 80% of it.
Each check now pushes its sample and redraws its row as it ends. When
the last check ends, every row is redrawn, so none still reads "paused"
after a pause and resume, and sorting, the summary, the health box and
offline detection run once. A check that ends while paused or after its
round is given up draws nothing, and the first round is still discarded
as a whole. The row is looked up when the check ends, as a pin click can
re-sort the rows mid-round.

Unit tests run tick on the mocked clock against a stand-in page.

 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-10-03: each target's row shows its result as soon as its check ends
+  (issue #91), where every row waited for the round's slowest check, up to 24
+  seconds at a 30-second interval. Every row is still redrawn, and sorting, the
+  summary, the health box and offline detection still run, once, when the
+  round's last check ends, so no row reads "paused" after a pause and resume
+  during the round. A check that ends after the user pauses or after its round
+  is given up shows nothing, and the first round is still discarded as a whole
+- 2026-10-03: `backend/script/lint` says what went wrong with its
+  `.golangci.yml` check (issue #34). On a hash mismatch it says to compare the
+  file with the org standard: if they differ, restore the org standard; if they
+  are the same, the org standard changed, so update `GOLANGCI_CONFIG_SHA256` in
+  that script. It used to say only to restore the file, which loops once the org
+  standard itself has moved. A missing `.golangci.yml`, and a `sha256sum` that
+  is missing or prints no hash, each get their own message instead of being
+  reported as a mismatch; every one still fails the lint
 - 2026-10-03: the Go tests run with the race detector and coverage (issue #88):
   `backend/script/test` runs `go test -timeout 30s -race -cover ./...` and, if
   that fails, runs it again with `-v` and fails. Go's `-timeout` bounds the
