+// The package manifest promises three files that only exist after a build:
+// `main`, `types`, and the `quak` binary. Nothing in the test suite used to
+// look at them, and `make check` runs test, lint and fmt-check but never the
+// build, so `tsconfig.json` and `package.json` were free to drift apart. They
+// did: `rootDir` was `./src` while `include` also pulled in `bin/**/*`, which
+// is TS6059, and no build had succeeded for as long as that was true.
+//
+// These tests read both files and check the contract between them, without
+// running a build, so they stay in the fast unit suite. The complementary
+// check — that the files really landed on disk — is in `script/build`, which
+// runs after the compiler and is the only place that can honestly answer it.
