What the check does, and where it stops.
Why it matters
If your registrar account is ever broken into, the lock is what stops the domain leaving.
What a failure looks like
A failure is a finding in your result. The check is scored, so it can lower your score, and the Full Report gives every finding its severity and a fix. If the check cannot finish, it is recorded as unknown: it carries no penalty, and it is never a pass.
Where its limits are
Needs the registry to publish its records.
