Example task

In a sample Node project, add a Makefile with only a test target that runs npm test. Put test, build, and lint scripts in package.json. Run /configure-makefile --check-only.

What to check

The report recognizes test, lists missing targets, and ties its suggested Node commands to the package scripts.
