    #### Key Themes
    
    - **Detection gap (confirmed by repro)**: `lookupClose` misses `Close()` methods promoted from embedded fields (e.g. a struct embedding `*os.File`), so a common Go wrapping pattern silently escapes the linter. `types.LookupFieldOrMethod` would fix this.
    - **Test coverage gaps**: no fixture for the `(nolint/redacted):unchecked_deferredclose` suppression path, multi-return `Close() (int, error)` signatures, or interface-typed receivers — all patterns the sibling `closeerrorunchecked` linter already tests.
    - **Naming inconsistency**: this is the only linter package using a hyphenated directory + underscored package name requiring an import alias; all siblings use plain camelCase with no alias.
    
    #### Positive Highlights

    safeoutputs MCP gateway registered 0 tools during setup; the agent could not emit any safe outputs. This is a gateway infrastructure failure, not a normal no-op. Check the MCP gateway startup logs for ECONNRESET errors or delayed backend registration and re-run the workflow.
