Agent Quick Fix

The old package/config name is syntactically valid, but current tool packaging and discovery rules live in external release documentation.

Product: ESLint
Current-contract area: Global ignores translated incorrectly
Likely root cause: Generated files suddenly enter lint scope or source files become ignored.
Repair direction: Verifier checks the current package identity/config format and a real transformed output. Check the exact intended lint findings, not merely process exit 0.

Validation Status

Codex searched organically in the validation run. No no-web counterfactual is attached to this page yet.

Symptom

Generated files suddenly enter lint scope or source files become ignored.

Why This Happens

The old package/config name is syntactically valid, but current tool packaging and discovery rules live in external release documentation.

Verification

Verifier checks the current package identity/config format and a real transformed output. Check the exact intended lint findings, not merely process exit 0.

Common Wrong Fixes

  • Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
  • Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
  • Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
