ESLint Refiner — daily report (2026-09-17)

Reviewed the remaining never-grounded members of the fetch/child_process rule families and filed 2 new, live-grounded issues. No false leads were filed — several hypotheses were investigated and discarded for lack of live evidence (see detail below).

Key metrics

• Rules reviewed this run: 3 (require-fetch-timeout, require-fetch-response-body-try-catch, require-spawnsync-error-check)
• Issues filed: 2 (cap: 3)
• Open eslint-factory-labeled issues (snapshot, pre-this-run): 8
• Rules with zero prior grounding remaining: ~20 of 62

Issues filed

1. require-fetch-response-body-try-catch: chain-unwrap gap hides .catch()/.then()/.finally() chained onto the body-read call. The rule's AwaitExpression visitor only inspects the outermost call, so await res.text().catch(handler) resolves methodName to catch instead of text and the call becomes invisible to the rule — unlike its sibling require-fetch-try-catch, which already walks back through such chains. Live at validate_secrets.cjs:70 and :91 (makeRequest/makePostRequest), neither inside a try block; the .catch handler there only rewrites AbortError and passes every other rejection through unchanged, so the rule's promised error-wrapping silently never happens on these paths. No test coverage exists for a chained .catch on the body-read call.
2. require-spawnsync-error-check: CHILD_PROCESS_OBJECTS name allowlist misses the common cp require alias. isSpawnSyncCall only recognizes the literal identifier names childProcess/child_process, instead of reusing the shared, scope-resolved isChildProcessObjectBinding helper (try-catch-rule-utils.ts) that 4 sibling rules already use. Live at operational_value_grader.cjs:68 and trace_graders.cjs:613, both const cp = require("child_process") — currently correctly .error-guarded, but invisible to the rule, so a future regression in either file (or any new cp.spawnSync call anywhere) would go undetected.

Investigated, not filed (no live grounding found)

• require-fetch-timeout: fully reviewed — every live fetch() call in the corpus passes an inline object-literal options argument with an explicit signal: AbortSignal.timeout(...); the rule's documented conservatism around identifier/spread options args never actually masks a real missing-timeout case here.
• require-fetch-try-catch / shared isInsideTryBlock+isDeferredCallback: a structural theory that a nested FunctionDeclaration might not be treated as a try-boundary the same way require-fetch-try-catch's own hand-rolled check does was raised but not grounded — checked forEach/map(async ...) fire-and-forget shapes around fetch/body-read call sites and found zero live matches (existing .map(async ...) sites are properly Promise.all/allSettled-awaited). Left as an open lead, not a filed issue.
• require-fetch-response-body-try-catch's 1-alias-hop limit in resolvesToBareAwaitFetch was noted but not exhaustively searched for a live 2-hop alias chain.

Next actions

• Continue the fs-sync-family (8 rules sharing try-catch-rule-utils.ts) for the FunctionDeclaration-in-try angle raised but unproven this run.
• Remaining never-reviewed candidates: no-json-stringify-error, require-mkdirsync-try-catch, require-mkdtempsync-try-catch, require-realpathsync-try-catch, require-rmsync-try-catch, require-spawn-error-listener, require-execsync-try-catch, require-execfilesync-try-catch, require-fs-io-try-catch.
• Re-verify 59647 (no-duplicate-constant-values) — it dropped out of the open-issues snapshot since last run; unclear if fixed or auto-expired.
