[eslint-refiner] ESLint Refiner daily report — 2026-09-02

[github-actions[bot]]

Overview

Daily ESLint Refiner run for eslint-factory/. Reviewed 2 rules in depth, filed 2 non-duplicate refinement issues grounded in live code, and discovered a significant gap in this workflow's own repo-memory continuity.

Key metrics

• Rules registered: 60 (up from 12 tracked in prior memory)
• Rules deep-reviewed this run: 2 — require-realpathsync-try-catch, no-json-stringify-equality
• Issues filed: 2 (3rd skipped — no equally-strong grounded finding this run)
• Dedup checks: gh api search across all eslint-factory-labeled issues (open + closed)

Issues filed

1. Shared try/catch suggestion builder silently skips VariableDeclaration call sites — findEnclosingStatement/buildTryCatchSuggestion in try-catch-rule-utils.ts only offer an autofix for ExpressionStatement/ReturnStatement call sites, missing the dominant const x = fs.xSync(y); shape. Affects all 13 rules built on the shared suggestion builder. Grounded in actions/setup/js/create_prompt.cjs:50,56 and create_files.cjs:104,128.
2. no-json-stringify-equality misses indirect template-literal comparisons — the rule only matches direct JSON.stringify(a) === JSON.stringify(b), missing the equivalent hazard when each side is a variable/template literal that embeds a JSON.stringify(...) call. Grounded in actions/setup/js/trace_graders.cjs:356-365 (gradeLoops).

Repo-memory continuity gap (click to expand)

This workflow's repo-memory branch (memory/eslint-refiner) last recorded a run on 2026-07-08, tracking 12 registered rules. As of today, eslint-factory/src/index.ts registers 60 rules, and GitHub issue history (label:eslint-factory, all states) shows roughly 55 issues filed and closed between 2026-07-08 and 2026-09-01 — none of which are reflected in this memory branch.

This means either a separate, faster-cadence process has been performing this same refinement work without writing to this memory scope, or this workflow simply stopped running for ~2 months. Either way, future runs of this workflow should not trust the old rules[]/coverage list in memory as ground truth for "already reviewed" — GitHub's issue history (open + closed, label:eslint-factory) is the authoritative source for prior coverage going forward. This has been recorded in the updated state.json/history.jsonl for continuity.

Next actions

• Track whether the 2 filed issues get picked up; if the VariableDeclaration suggestion fix lands, verify the 4 grounded call sites gain real autofixes and spot-check sibling rules for regressions.
• Future runs: prioritize genuinely new rules (shipped in the last few days) and cross-rule/shared-util findings over single-rule scans, since most single-rule low-hanging issues have likely already been filed across the ~55-issue backlog.
• Confirm with maintainers whether a separate process is intentionally driving eslint-factory refinement outside this workflow, to avoid duplicated effort going forward.
