Budget: docs/04-seo-spec.md §Performance — * Lighthouse >= 95 on all four categories, on mobile, for every page. * * WHY THIS IS `lighthouse` AND NOT `@lhci/cli`, WHICH IS WHAT R11 SAID TO PUT * BACK. Measured 2026-08-31 from two probe lockfiles, not recalled: * * @lhci/cli@0.15.1 10 vulnerabilities (7 high) pins lighthouse 12.6.1 * high: tmp@0.1.0 <- a DIRECT dependency of @lhci/cli itself * high: extract-zip@2.0.1 <- via @puppeteer/browsers * lighthouse@13.4.1 0 vulnerabilities 109 packages * tmp ABSENT, extract-zip ABSENT * * So the carrier was never Lighthouse. AGENTS.md §7 recorded the advisories as * arriving "via lighthouse -> puppeteer-core -> extract-zip", and on that * attribution the tool looked unusable for as long as the advisories stood. * Standalone `lighthouse` measures the same budget with nothing outstanding. * What is given up is real and is recorded in §7: `lhci autorun`'s assertion * config, its server, and its CI upload. * * THIS IS A LOCAL GATE, NOT A CI CHECK, and the reason is Chrome. Standalone * Lighthouse drives an installed browser; the Gitea runner has none (§7 — the * runner is not registered at all yet, Q23).
