strider check folds formatting drift, style policy, and package-aware
correctness analysis into a single diagnostic pass. It is read-only by default,
with explicit safe and unsafe fix modes when source should be updated. No plugin
zoo, no tool matrix — files are parsed once and shared across every selected
check.
