Description

Description of feature

Modules linting is called main_nf, which means you need to specify --key main_nf if that is the only test you want to run. I think we can name this better to make it clearer.

main_nf checks process directives, such as container, inputs and labels. Perhaps it could be module_directives?

Research direction

Start by locating the linting option or test key that exposes main_nf and inspect any references to it. Rename the key to a clearer module-directives name, update its user-facing references, and verify that selecting only module linting still works.
