+### JavaScript CI checks
+
+Rustdoc’s JavaScript and TypeScript are checked during CI by `eslint`, `es-check`, and `tsc` (not by compiletest). These run as part of the `tidy` job.
+
+```bash
+./x.py test tidy --extra-checks=js
+```
+
+The `--extra-checks=js` flag enables the frontend linting that runs in CI.
