Description

When we run the report and get errors , it would be helpful to know which check triggered the error (and hence which check to exclude if we want to ignore the error). For example if we get a "Hidden files are not permitted." error, which check do we need to exclude to ignore this error?

I am running the plugin check via the action @swissspidy created, in this PR - https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/pull/20808 where he suggested I open this issue.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the report formats errors from individual checks and how checks are excluded, using the “Hidden files are not permitted.” example as a reproduction case. Done means each reported error identifies the check that triggered it and points to the corresponding exclusion name.
