Build plugin/config relocation
ESLint config lookup starts from linted file directory monorepo packages resolve different config
Monorepo packages unexpectedly resolve a different or no config.
Agent Quick Fix
Repair against the current ESLint contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.
Product: ESLint
Current-contract area: Config lookup now starts from linted file directory
Likely root cause: Monorepo packages unexpectedly resolve a different or no config.
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.
Symptom
Monorepo packages unexpectedly resolve a different or no config.
Why This Happens
The old package/config name is syntactically valid, but current tool packaging and discovery rules live in external release documentation.
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.
