Yeah, I was worried this would get out of sycn and it really did not take long for that to happen in practice. I think there's utility in listing the checks in clang-tidy's documentation instead of pointing users to the SA documentation page. Users should have one website to go to where they can see what clang-tidy checks are available to them.

So long as pre-commit CI runs the test, I think this might be a reasonable path forward. You may forget to run the tests locally, but you should still get some failure indication before we land a patch. That should also curtail the churn from having to revert. WDYT?
