Linter / checker / unit tester for Moodle themes?

Does there exist any automated linter, checker or unit tester for Moodle Themes, to check that they are compliant with all necessary requirements?

I've created my first theme, and it appears to work, but because it is mainly reusing code / content from a Moodle core theme (Classic) I wanted to check that the bits I have changed / added on have been done correctly.

You can write PHPUnit and Behat tests for your theme, just like any other plugin. Its also possible to run the core Behat tests and specify your theme.

This sounds a bit beyond the scope I was looking for, I was hoping there would be some automated tool that I could just drag and drop or upload my theme files to and have it check them to see whether it's properly compatible, complies with all applicable Moodle requirements, or something of that nature. I.e. something Moodle specific rather than some kind of generic PHP linter.

What about https://moodle.org/plugins/local_codechecker or any of the accessibility checkers on the web?

Thanks - the code checker is the sort of thing I was looking for.
