Missing types for `category.supportedModes` and `node.explanation` about lighthouse HOT 6 OPEN

The Lighthouse Config type allows supportedModes on each category but the Result type does not. TS is accurately reporting that the field is incorrect.

The explanation seems like an actual issues since we set it but it's not on the types:

Okay interesting. Could you elaborate on the Config a bit? Or point me to docs. I don't fully understand how to use that, or why am I seeing supportedModes in the results?

Yeah I took a look at the generated results, and looks like we are emitting supportedModes on the result category even though it's not a part of the type. So I guess we should either remove that from the output or add supportedModes to the types.

If I use Config.Category:

type CategoryConfig = Record<string, Config.Category>

Then it’s missing other properties like id and score.

I can extend the types and it seems to work:

type CategoryConfig = Record<string, Config.Category & Result.Category>

Is this correct usage?

Thanks!
