+name: Web build check

+# The web bundle is only built when a release is published (pages.yml), so a
+# desktop-only call in shared code can sit on main unnoticed until the next
+# release fails at the wasm step. Type-check the web target on every change
+# instead; this is a check, not a bundle build, so it stays fast.
