Description

Replaces Biome's linter with oxlint across every
TypeScript tree in the repository
. Biome stays, as the formatter and import sorter, so the two
tools no longer overlap: oxlint lints, Biome formats.

oxlint reports whole classes of problem Biome has no rule for — React, Vitest and accessibility
checks, plus type-aware rules through oxlint-tsgolint. Turning them on surfaced real defects, and
fixing those is most of this diff. The migration consequently also repairs the Java, CI and
published-documentation gates that claimed success without enforcing their stated contract, and updates
@base-ui/react from 1.4.1 to the current 1.7.0 after checking our selectors against its rendered DOM.
There is no baseline file: every rule reports clean on the tree it guards, so nothing is deferred
to a suppression list.

Fixes #1463
Fixes #1476

Scope note. #1463 scoped this to webapp/ and treated the type-aware promise rules (#1476) as
separate work. Both grew. oxlint-tsgolint is what makes any type-aware rule work, so enabling
it for one enables it for all; and leaving the other trees on a disabled linter would have been the
split brain this was meant to remove. Fixing every finding also exposed inert Java, documentation and
workflow gates, so this PR makes those gates truthful rather than preserving green theatre. The formatter
(#1475) is not in scope — Biome keeps it.

Which config governs which tree, and why they differ

A nested oxlint config replaces its parent for the files beneath it rather than merging, so each
tree states its rule set in full. options — including typeAware — is root-only and global.

Tree Config Effective rules
the SPA webapp/.oxlintrc.json 503
the docs site docs/.oxlintrc.json 448
Bun agent runtime, precompute, scripts/**, root config files .oxlintrc.json 353

The differences are environmental, not standards drift: the root config loads no React,
accessibility or Vitest plugin because those trees have no .tsx and no Vitest. Every rule switched
off carries its reason beside it, and each of those reasons was re-derived against measured
output rather than written from memory.

Run oxlint from the repository root. Started inside webapp/ it never discovers the root config,
so every type-aware rule reads as enabled and checks nothing.

Conventions that were prose and are now rules

AGENTS.md stated these; only review enforced them.

Convention Enforced by
never call fetch directly no-restricted-globals — 4 declared exceptions
compose classes with cn() no-restricted-imports on clsx/tailwind-merge — 0 exceptions
the SPA reads window.__ENV__, not process.env no-restricted-properties
a component may not fetch; a story may not mock the network no-restricted-imports, per directory
autoFocus only on a field in a just-opened overlay jsx-a11y/no-autofocus, suppressed at each call site with its reason
no manual memoization — React Compiler runs at build time no-restricted-imports; forwardRef is gone entirely
no clock read during render hephaestus/no-nondeterministic-render, with use-now / story-clock as the sanctioned readings
@/ rather than ../ import/no-relative-parent-imports
ASCII filenames · <svg> needs a name · no data-testid · no circular imports house rules, react/forbid-dom-props, import/no-cycle

Ten house rules live in webapp/tools/oxlint/, each with a RuleTester suite, covering what no
shipped plugin does — a hand-written TanStack query key, a Storybook play that asserts nothing, a
story lowering the project-wide accessibility bar, or a redundant meta.title that copies the path
Storybook already derives. Story titles stay omitted by default; explicit titles are reserved for a
deliberate reader-facing relocation such as Workspace admin/….

What this found

Defects a user or operator would notice

All of these are in the changeset.

  • GitLab sub-issue sync could delete parent links it never looked at. An abort flag was set on
    every early exit and never read, so a partial page walk still ran cleanup — clearing parentIssue
    for every issue whose link lived on a page that was never fetched — and then reported success.
  • The achievements API promised an unlock time for achievements nobody had earned.
    @NonNull Optional<Instant> reads as required to springdoc while Jackson omits it, so the
    generated client ran new Date(undefined) and produced an Invalid Date — which is truthy, so
    every unlockedAt ? … : "—" guard silently never fired.
  • Fifty-two server errors lost their stack trace, so logs recorded where a failure was reported
    rather than where it happened. Sign-in, JWT validation and Slack preferences were all affected.
  • Dropdown option lists had no accessible name — 25 of 27. SelectContent and ComboboxList now
    require one in their prop types, so omitting it is a compile error.
  • Scrollbars rendered 2px wide instead of 10px, and a disabled checkbox never dimmed — both from
    Tailwind variants keyed on attributes Base UI does not emit. Silent dead CSS: it compiles fine and
    matches nothing.
  • The primary button had no hover feedback — the style applied only when it rendered as a link.
  • A failed mentor attachment upload vanished silently; a disabled accordion still opened; two
    countdowns never advanced; a review schedule saved as 9 stored no minute at all.

Gates that were reporting success without checking anything

  • PMD never failed a build. failOnViolation=false plus -q meant it logged findings at WARNING
    and exited 0 printing nothing, while pnpm run check reported a clean Java lint over 234
    violations in 158 files
    . Cleared and armed.
  • Arming it then turned CI red on 16 violations no local run reproduced. All were false positives
    from PMD analysing without a compiled auxclasspath — it cannot see that an enum switch is
    exhaustive or that a wildcard import is used. Locally the quick profile leaves target/classes
    populated, which silently fixes the analysis. Reproduced by copying the tree without target/:
    16 violations, and 0 after a compile. lint:java now compiles first.
  • lint:java, check:diagrams and check:story-sort ran in no workflow — reachable only from a
    pre-push hook that --no-verify skips. Each now runs in CI with a job-summary row, and each was
    proven to fail on a planted violation.
  • docs:lint was red on main for 80 violations and covered only 55 of 92 files, so all 33 ADRs
    and both runbooks were unlinted. It now runs in check and in CI. Widening it found a paragraph
    that rendered as a bullet list and an ADR template whose placeholders rendered as nothing.
  • openapi-autocommit could commit a failed generation. Its commit and push steps were guarded on
    always() && … != 'true'; a skipped step's output is the empty string, which passes that test.
    Since generate:api begins by deleting webapp/src/api, it would have pushed that deletion to the
    contributor's branch.
  • One test had never run. HephaestusApplicationTests was tagged integration but named so that
    failsafe does not discover it and surefire excludes it. Renamed; it passes. A new ArchUnit rule
    resolves every test class's tier through extends and meta-annotations so the next one fails.

Nothing Biome's linter did is left unenforced

requireAscii was the one gap — unicorn/filename-case checks a name's shape, not its alphabet. A
house rule closes it in all three configs, reading the path relative to the repository root so a
contributor whose checkout lives under a non-ASCII directory is not flagged for it.

How to test

CI covers this, and the gate is the point of the change. Locally:

pnpm run check                    # the full gate; every leg of it now also runs in CI
./node_modules/.bin/oxlint        # whole repo — must be run from the ROOT, not from webapp/

To confirm the house rules genuinely bite rather than loading as silent no-ops, drop this into
webapp/src/Probe.stories.tsx, lint it — three errors — then delete it:

const meta = { parameters: { a11y: { test: "todo" } } } as { parameters: unknown };
export default meta;
export const S = { play: async () => { await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 1)); } };

Every rule added here was verified the same way: plant a violation, watch it report, revert. oxlint
hard-errors when jsPlugins names a module it cannot load or a rule names an unknown plugin, so a
house rule cannot silently vanish — and the standalone-binary skip in
oxc#25203 does not apply, because the scripts run
the Node launcher in node_modules/.bin.

For the two visible fixes: hover any primary button (it now dims), and open a Storybook accordion
story with a disabled item (it no longer opens).

Checklist

  • My changeset summary reads as an operator/user-facing note (it becomes the changelog entry) — see .changeset/README.md
  • If the operator must act on this change (new required env var, manual migration step), the changeset summary says how (**Operators:** …) and MIGRATION.md is updated — no operator action; the change is tooling plus behavioural fixes

Biome keeps the formatter and import sort; oxlint takes over linting. Two
tools for now — replacing the formatter is #1475.

Why: oxlint reports whole classes of problem Biome has no rule for. On this
tree it found ref access during render, setState in effects, impure calls
during render, and eight `autoFocus` sites Biome's own recommended
`noAutofocus` silently missed because it only inspects DOM elements.

The rule set was transcribed by hand — there is no Biome to oxlint migrator
(oxc-project/oxc#21266) — then every entry was re-derived from what the rule
actually reports on this tree, which removed three exemptions that guarded
nothing and corrected four whose stated reason did not match their findings.

The three GritQL plugins in .biome/ became oxlint JS plugins in
webapp/tools/oxlint/, written in TypeScript so `pnpm run typecheck` covers
them, each with a RuleTester suite. `no-redundant-in-the-document` lost half
its job to `vitest/valid-expect`, which does it for every subject rather than
just queries.

Pre-existing findings for rules the tree does not pass yet live in a committed
oxlint-suppressions.json baseline, so those rules are errors for new code
instead of switched off. The file records a count per file per rule, not a
line — see webapp/AGENTS.md.

Two things Biome checked that nothing checks now: `requireAscii` on filenames
and `a11y/noSvgWithoutTitle`. Both are called out in webapp/AGENTS.md.

Closes #1463

Added rules for typed Storybook metadata, redundant document assertions, and within(canvasElement), with shared test configuration and rule tests.
Source naming and lint compliance
webapp/src/*, webapp/.storybook/*, webapp/e2e/*, webapp/public/manifest.json
Updated component names, imports, suppression directives, formatting, effect dependencies, Storybook stories, and test assertions.
Runtime behavior and regression coverage
webapp/src/hooks/*, webapp/src/routes/__root.tsx, webapp/src/components/*stories.tsx
Deferred query timestamps, isolated EventSource listeners, synchronized mobile media-query state, named root layout rendering, and stateful Storybook harnesses were added or updated.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 279ca

The change still has a custom lint rule that can flag valid code and suggest an invalid fix, another rule that permits Meta and can weaken Storybook type checking, and changed Tailwind class strings that bypass the repository’s required composition pattern. These bounded issues can cause incorrect lint guidance or inconsistent styling, so they need owner follow-up or explicit acceptance before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Restrict this rule to Storybook play callbacks.

Lines 27-33 report every within(canvasElement) call. The rule does not verify a play callback or its canvasElement parameter. A normal test can use this local name and require within(...). The reported fix then requires a canvas binding that does not exist.

Limit the match to the Storybook callback context. Add a valid non-Storybook regression case.

Comment thread webapp/tools/oxlint/rules/typed-story-meta.ts Outdated
FelixTJDietrich and others added 3 commits August 22, 2026 01:03
The storybook leg already wraps its run in `timeout --kill-after=30s 15m`;
the unit leg did not. A hung suite therefore burned the full 30-minute job
timeout, and GitHub retains no step log for a job that ends that way — so the
hang could not be diagnosed from CI at all.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Challenges every suppression the migration left behind. The baseline drops
from 241 findings to 21 and the inline directives from seven to four.

Root causes fixed, not silenced:

- `SortableCatalogTree` bundled a focus-restoring ref callback into the same
  object as the reorder state, so React Compiler read `move.canMoveUp` at
  every consumer as ref access. The ref now travels beside that object
  instead of inside it, which clears 24 of the 25 `react/refs` findings.
- `useIsMobile` mirrored a media query into state from an effect. It now
  reads through `useSyncExternalStore`, so a sidebar mounted on a phone no
  longer renders its desktop layout for one frame first.
- `safeReturnTo` matched control characters with a literal `\x00-\x1f` range.
  `\p{Cc}` says the same thing without embedding control characters, and also
  covers the C1 block the hex range missed.
- `IntegrationCardHeading` now renders `children` explicitly rather than
  relying on the spread, which is what the a11y rule needs to see.
- A test asserted `cn("text-sm", false && "text-lg")`; the `&&` was noise.

Two rules were turned off after measuring what they actually report here:

- `vitest/require-mock-type-parameters` (190 findings) buys nothing in this
  toolchain — a deliberately wrong argument checked against a typed mock
  still type-checks clean, so the type parameter would be ceremony on all 122
  call assertions.
- `react/static-components` (5) flags `const Icon = iconFor(kind)`, whose
  helpers return module-level constants. `react/no-unstable-nested-components`
  already catches the case it is meant for.

What remains is 17 `react/set-state-in-effect`, 3 `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`
and 1 `react/refs`. Those need component behaviour to change — forms, surveys,
the sidebar — and belong in their own review.

…category

Turning `pedantic`, `style`, `perf` and `restriction` off as categories hid
~300 rules that were never examined individually. Auditing them one category
at a time — enable the category alone, read what fires, take the rest —
turned up 168 rules that report zero on this tree. They were costing nothing
and guarding nothing.

Ten of them are rules Biome had on by default, so the migration's parity
claim was wrong: `no-var`, `no-proto`, `no-script-url`, `no-empty`,
`typescript/no-namespace`, `typescript/ban-ts-comment`,
`jsx-a11y/anchor-ambiguous-text`, `unicorn/prefer-number-properties`,
`unicorn/prefer-array-index-of` and `react/no-unknown-property`. The earlier
check compared only rules that fired, so a rule reporting zero in both tools
looked covered when it was simply off. That also means deleting three dead
`"off"` entries in the previous commit enabled nothing — all three live in
`pedantic`.

`react/rules-of-hooks` was among them, which is the one that mattered. Its 12
findings were all anonymous components the rule could not recognise, so:

- `__root.tsx`'s inline `component: () => {…}` is now a named `RootLayout`.
- Three stories called hooks inside `render`, which is fragile in Storybook
  and invisible to React DevTools; each is now a named harness component.
- `e2e/**` is exempt: Playwright's fixture callback is named `use`, which the
  React plugin reads as the `use` hook.

Also fixed rather than skipped: seven `new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, n))`
executors that returned a timer handle, and one `parseInt` that should be
`Number.parseInt`. `no-script-url` is off for test files, because a test that
asserts a `javascript:` URL is rejected has to be able to name one.

What stays off is now only what should be: ~20 type-aware `typescript/*`
rules that would be silently inert without `oxlint-tsgolint` (#1476), rules
that need configuration to do anything, and Node-only or React Compiler
internal rules.

`typescript/non-nullable-type-assertion-style` needs type information, so
without `oxlint-tsgolint` it reports zero however wrong the code is — it read
as enforced while checking nothing. It has 14 real findings under
`--type-aware`, which is #1476's job.

The type-aware note now carries measured numbers for that decision: 461
findings across 15 rules, 174 of them `no-floating-promises`, for +1.2s and
+0.4GB on this tree.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…mise

Adds `oxlint-tsgolint` and turns on `options.typeAware`, which activates the
~59 type-aware rules oxlint had been reporting as enabled while checking
nothing. `typescript/no-floating-promises` alone found 174 unhandled
promises.

Each is now explicit rather than implicit:

- Fire-and-forget calls in mutation handlers and event handlers — `navigate`,
  `refetch`, `invalidateQueries` — carry `void`, which is what the rule asks
  for and what the code already meant.
- Storybook play functions `await` their assertions, as Storybook documents.
  Three `waitFor` callbacks became async so their assertions can be awaited.
- Two tests awaited `act(...)`, which is the point of `act`: without it the
  next assertion runs before React has flushed.

`typescript/no-unsafe-type-assertion` is off for tests, stories and fixtures,
which is what typescript-eslint recommends for projects that stub objects.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- `String(value)` on decoded JSON rendered "[object Object]" in the audit log
  and the curated-catalog version panel whenever a field held an object.
- A `legal.test.ts` fetch stub called `input.toString()` on `RequestInfo`,
  which yields "[object Request]" for anything that is not already a string.
- `posthog-survey-widget` captured `window.history.pushState` unbound and
  re-bound it through `.apply` at every call; it now binds once at capture.
- Two type parameters constrained nothing because they never reached a return
  type, and `"ALL" | ArtifactKindId` was `string | string`.
- Defaults on a required prop and on a non-optional `useTheme()` field could
  never apply.
- `checked === true` on values the checker already knows are boolean.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`typescript/no-unnecessary-type-assertion` found 51. Most were removable
outright; the rest were Testing Library queries cast to a specific element
type, which the queries take as a type parameter instead —
`getByLabelText<HTMLInputElement>("Name").value` rather than
`(getByLabelText("Name") as HTMLInputElement).value`. Same for
`getQueryData<ChatThreadSummary[]>`.

`typescript/consistent-return` is off. Its two shapes here are both wrong: an
effect that bails early and otherwise returns a cleanup is React's documented
idiom, and an exhaustive `switch` with an annotated return type is already a
TypeScript error when a union member is added (TS2366, verified).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`typescript/no-unsafe-type-assertion` found 172. Two thirds were fixed at the
source rather than narrowed by hand:

- `SortableCatalogTree` asserted dnd-kit's open `data.current` record into a
  discriminated union at nine call sites. A type predicate now checks the
  discriminant, so a payload that does not match is `undefined` instead of a
  lie the checker believed.
- Cookie consent read from localStorage — which anything can write — and
  asserted the parsed JSON into shape. It is now validated with the zod schema
  the repo already uses everywhere else.
- `queryClient.getQueryData` takes the type as a parameter.

The rule is off for tests, stories and fixtures, which typescript-eslint
recommends for projects that stub objects, and the remaining 84 are baselined:
they are one or two per file across 65 files, each needing its own narrowing.
The rule stays an error for new code.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The oxlint baseline is gone rather than smaller: `oxlint-suppressions.json`
is deleted, the override that exempted tests and stories from
`no-unsafe-type-assertion` is dropped, and the 176 findings that surfaced
are fixed where they originate.

Most of them shared a handful of causes:

- `RadioGroup` and `ToggleGroup` collapsed Base UI's generic `Value` to
  `any`, so every call site asserted the union back. Making the wrappers
  generic, as `select.tsx` already was, removes the casts.
- React's `CSSProperties` has no room for a custom property. A module
  augmentation in `src/types/css.d.ts` keeps every standard property
  checked and drops seven casts.
- Fixtures claimed `"…" as unknown as Date` for values the response
  transformer really does revive, which `src/lib/dates.ts` already warns
  against; they now hold real `Date`s.
- Testing Library queries take the element type as a parameter, so the
  DOM casts became `getByRole<HTMLButtonElement>(…)`.
- MSW types a request body from `http.post<PathParams, Body>`, and
  `vi.mocked` replaces `as Mock`.
- `Object.keys(record) as Union[]` became an explicitly typed array
  beside its `Record<Union, …>`, which is what breaks first when the
  union grows.

The React findings are behaviour changes, not annotations: state derived
from props is computed during render or reset with `key`, so a form no
longer paints stale values before correcting them, and the leaderboard
countdown stops ticking once its deadline passes.

Two rules join the gate. `typescript/no-non-null-assertion` closes the
`!` loophole that let any rejected assertion through — the tree had one.
Mapping `Label` and `FieldLabel` through `settings.jsx-a11y.components`
turns `label-has-associated-control` into real coverage of 128 call
sites.

What is left is seven inline directives and two `off` lines, each at one
site with its reason. A dead `unicorn/no-document-cookie` line went with
them; it named a rule its category had already disabled.
@github-actions github-actions Bot added the security Authentication, authorization, vulnerability fixes label Aug 22, 2026
`ReturnType<typeof within>` resolves to `any`. `within` is generic over its
query set and `ReturnType` cannot supply the type argument, so the eleven
play-function helpers spelled that way silently turned off checking for
every query made through them — a typo'd `getByRolezzz` compiled. A shared
`Canvas` in `src/test/canvas.ts` spells it `BoundFunctions<typeof queries>`
instead, which restores checking at 39 call sites.

The skill-tree node registry imported the two node components while both
imported a style constant back out of it. Moving the constant to a leaf
module breaks the cycle; a registry evaluated mid-cycle is how `nodeTypes`
ends up holding `undefined`.

tsconfig gains five checks. Four cost nothing. `noImplicitReturns` found a
`useEffect` that returned its cleanup only inside an `if`, and
`erasableSyntaxOnly` — which keeps the tree strippable by a type-erasing
runtime — found one class using parameter properties. The `exclude` for the
generated client is dropped because it never did anything: all 18 files were
already in the program, reached by import, and reading it as a quarantine is
how a strictness decision gets made on a false premise.

`vitest.shims.d.ts` referenced `@vitest/browser/providers/playwright`, a path
that no longer exists — `skipLibCheck` had been hiding it since the provider
moved to its own package.

Thirty-eight more rules are enforced. Most report nothing today and are on so
the first occurrence is caught rather than accumulated; `prefer-ts-expect-error`
is the one worth naming, since `@ts-ignore` outlives the error it hid while
`@ts-expect-error` fails once it stops being needed. `switch-exhaustiveness-check`
and `only-throw-error` needed options to be about bugs rather than about this
repo's idioms: a `default` clause counts as exhaustive, and TanStack Router
signals redirects by throwing them.
Three rule families that were off, each covering a class the current gate
could not see.

`no-explicit-any` only catches the `any` this repo writes. The five
`no-unsafe-*` rules catch the `any` that arrives: from a library that types
a callback argument as `any`, from `JSON.parse`, and from an untyped
`vi.fn()`, whose `mock.calls` made assertions about submitted values check
nothing at all. Two such assertions were rewritten to read the typed value
directly, and both now fail to compile if the field is misspelled. The SSE
hint parser was trusting the network outright; it validates now, so a scope
added to the union is rejected until the wire validator accepts it too.
`scripts/export-readme-assets.mjs` became `.ts` — it was linted by tsgolint
but outside `tsconfig.json`'s `include`, so `tsc` never saw it.

`no-misused-promises` completes the floating-promise work: 95 sites passed a
promise where a void return was expected. Most were not `async` at all, but
concise-body arrows whose implicit return leaked a promise into a JSX
handler. Nothing was configured away.

`no-deprecated` found that this repo writes Zod 3 schemas against Zod 4.4.3 —
`z.ZodIssueCode`, `.passthrough()`, `.uuid()`, `.datetime()`, `.url()` — which
is the debt that turns the next major bump into a multi-day job. Also
`React.FormEvent`, whose own deprecation note says it does not exist, and the
AI SDK's `addToolResult`.

Layering is encoded while it still holds: a UI primitive cannot import a
feature component or a route, and neither can `lib` or `stores`. Nothing
fires today. Note the trap the comment records — where two overrides match
the same file, the later one's copy of a rule replaces the earlier one's
options rather than merging, so the boundaries are proven by probe rather
than by a green run.
`noUncheckedIndexedAccess` is on. Every array index and record lookup now
carries the `undefined` it always could, which cost 303 fixes and found
two defects: a review schedule whose time had no minutes stored no minute
at all, because `Number.isNaN(undefined)` is false and the guard never
fired; and a `Record<string, T>` whose lookups were spelled as if total
now says so in its type, through `iconComponent`/`pillClasses`.

`no-unnecessary-condition` follows from it — typescript-eslint skips
array-index expressions when the flag is off, so the rule only became
accurate now. Of 179 findings, 158 were conditions the types already
decided. The other 17 were guards worth keeping over types that were
lying: `usePostHog()` is declared non-nullable but the provider only
mounts after consent, `crypto.randomUUID` is secure-context-only, and an
infinite query's `data` is undefined on first render whatever the
generated client says.

`prefer-nullish-coalescing`, `no-shadow` and `require-await` join too.
None of the 98 `||` sites was swallowing a value it shouldn't — page one
really is index zero, and an empty facet really must read as unfiltered —
but asking the question by name, through `firstNonBlank`, beats repeating
the chain. `no-shadow` found a handler reading the signed-in admin's name
where it meant the row's. `require-await` found two auth helpers claiming
`Promise<void>` around a synchronous redirect, which is why every call
site wrote `void linkAccount(...)`.

The vitest rules make the suite assert what it appears to: `toStrictEqual`
tells an absent key from a present `undefined`, and `no-conditional-in-test`
removes the branches that let a test pass without reaching its assertions.

Last, `SelectContent` and `ComboboxList` now require an accessible name at
the type level. Twenty-five of twenty-seven option lists had none, which
axe caught only when a play function happened to leave the popup open —
an intermittent failure standing in for a permanent defect.

…st the behaviour

A review pass over the branch, against a rubric drawn from Google's code
review guide, react.dev and the Testing Library principles.

Four helpers reimplemented something already installed. `respondInTurn`
answered a handler's calls in order, which is MSW's own `{ once: true }`.
`Canvas` re-derived from Testing Library internals the exact type Storybook
already puts on `StoryContext`. `randomId` hand-rolled a secure-context
fallback that `uuid` does properly — and did it worse, since `Date.now()`
collides inside a millisecond. `formatUnlockedAt` was `asDate` again with a
placeholder baked in. All four are gone.

`isRecord` admitted arrays, which two of its fifteen callers already
worked around; it now excludes them and the workarounds are deleted.

Twenty-eight comments were defects. Thirteen asserted something the code
does not do — a dropped SSE hint was said to cost nothing, when the poll
that would recover it does not run while the stream is healthy; a reconnect
was justified by a race that cannot happen, rather than by the one-shot
`AbortSignal` that is the real reason. Five pinned counts that had already
drifted. Three doc blocks had been separated from what they document.
`AGENTS.md` still described a suppressions baseline that no longer exists,
and told the reader to run two flags that do not.

The important finding was in the tests. Seven behaviour changes shipped on
this branch; reverting any of them left all 967 tests green. Each now has a
test that fails when its fix is reverted, verified by mutation rather than
by inspection. The schedule parser moved out of two route closures to make
that possible, which also removes a verbatim duplicate.
The branch had added 728 lines of comment against 5,440 of code. Most of
it restated the line below, argued against an alternative nobody had
proposed, or pinned a count that had already drifted. 429 lines remain.

Three cuts were structural rather than editorial, because the comment was
holding up something that should not have existed:

`AuthAuditPanel` and `ConfigAuditPanel` each hand-maintained a list of
union members beside a label record already total over the same union,
with a comment explaining that the record would fail first and prompt you
to update the list. Deriving the list from the record deletes 52 lines of
duplicated literals and makes the drift the comment warned about
unrepresentable.

A `tracedArtifact` fixture was duplicated verbatim in two story files,
each with the same doc block. It lives in the shared mock module now, and
the shared function is the explanation.

`chat-validation.ts` carried a header, three banner rules and a `@param`
block that repeated the signature; the two facts worth keeping are why the
part schema stays open and what happens if a text part arrives without its
text.

The config was the worst of it. `.oxlintrc.json` went from 162 comment
lines to 80, and three claims came out because they were false: a rule
described as paired with one that is not in the file, a note calling the
`typescript/` spelling of `no-shadow` inert when it fires identically, and
a pointer to a module this branch had already deleted.

`AchievementDTO.unlockedAt` was `@NonNull Optional<Instant>`. springdoc
unwraps the value type but reads `@NonNull` as required, so the schema
promised a timestamp that Jackson omits whenever the achievement is
unearned. The generated client then declared `unlockedAt: Date` and its
transformer ran `new Date(undefined)` unconditionally — producing an
Invalid Date, which is truthy, so every `unlockedAt ? … : "—"` guard in
the app silently never fired.

The entity has always had `@Nullable Instant unlockedAt`, and this was the
only `Optional<>` in any DTO in the server. Matching it makes the field
optional in the spec, `unlockedAt?: Date` in the client, and the generated
transformer guards its own conversion.

Two consequences in the webapp. The "Recent Unlocks" sort now narrows on
the timestamp rather than assuming the status implies one. And the
achievement story fixtures drop a `new Date(NaN)` sentinel that existed
only because the field could not be omitted.

`webapp/biome.jsonc` was reachable by no path filter that runs
`check:biome-pin`, because `cicd.yml` still named the file by its old
extension — so a PR touching only that config skipped the check that
guards it.

The rest is documentation catching up with the branch: AGENTS.md still
described Biome as the webapp's linter, `check:webapp` as running a
typecheck it does not run, and a suppressions baseline that no longer
exists. `server/AGENTS.md` now records why a DTO component must not be
wrapped in `Optional<>`, which is the defect above.

Three house rules replace three conventions that only review could catch:

- `no-manual-query-key` — a hand-built `queryKey` array. The generated client
  builds keys through `createQueryKey`, whose shape is regenerated from the
  OpenAPI spec, so a hand-written key stops matching silently.
- `play-must-assert` — a Storybook play function that asserts nothing.
  `vitest/expect-expect` cannot see these: a play is a property on a story
  object, not a body inside `test()`.
- `no-story-a11y-override` — an `a11y` key in a story's `parameters`.
  `preview.ts` sets `test: "error"` project-wide; a local override lowers the
  bar for one component while the suite stays green.

`typed-story-meta` now also rejects `as Meta<…>`, an untyped meta and
`satisfies Meta<any>`. The four story files using `as` had five type errors
hidden behind it — `render`-only stories for components with required props —
now args-driven, so Controls work.

`vitest/no-restricted-matchers` bans the jest-dom matchers that throw
`Invalid Chai property` at runtime: jest-dom is not registered in the Vitest
project, and `tsc` is happy either way.

Also removes two dead `ContributorCard` files, files `AutonomyBadge` under the
prefix its siblings use, and drops a `storySort` entry matching no story.

…nt rules

Four adversarial audits probed the config and the house rules. What they found:

**Rules that caught less than they claimed.** 50 bypass shapes were probed
against the six house rules; 43 escaped. A key computed from a literal
(`{["a11y"]: …}`) escaped four rules at once, `queryKey: [...] as const` — the
idiomatic spelling — escaped `no-manual-query-key`, `await audio.play()`
counted as an assertion, and `globals: { a11y: { manual: true } }` disabled the
accessibility check without the rule seeing it. All closed, each with a test
that failed first. The suites go 69 → 102 tests.

`typed-story-meta`'s `anyArgument` is deleted: `typescript/no-explicit-any`
already reports the same token. Messages were 314–408 characters and are now
all under 230, with the rationale moved to `docs.description` where it belongs.

**A rule configured to catch nothing.** `jsx-a11y/no-autofocus` ran with
`ignoreNonDOM: true`, which made it blind to every use in the repo, since all
of them are spelled on a component. It reported 0. It now reports the 8 real
sites, each suppressed where it stands with the reason it is correct.

**Reasons written from reasoning rather than measurement.** Seven of 26
justifications did not survive being re-derived. The `typeAware` note claimed a
silent failure that does not exist — oxlint refuses to start without tsgolint.
`prefer-tag-over-role` was blamed on shadcn; 75 of its 87 findings are outside
`ui/`. Three more explained a minority of what they covered. All corrected
against measured output.

**Conventions the docs stated and nothing enforced.** `fetch` outside the
generated client, `clsx`/`tailwind-merge` outside `cn()`, and `process.env` in
a bundle where Vite does not substitute it are now rules rather than review
items. `unicorn/prefer-import-meta-properties` replaces 21 hand-rolled
`dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url))` sites the curation pass had missed.

The 18 hand-listed component directories become one glob plus `excludeFiles`.

…mports

`@/` is the house spelling by a factor of seventy — 2,703 aliased imports in
`webapp/src` against 39 parent-relative ones. `import/no-relative-parent-imports`
makes that the rule rather than the habit, in all three configs. The 39 outliers
and the docs site's 3 are rewritten to `@/` and `@site/`.

Three places keep parent imports because no alias reaches them, each scoped in
config with the reason:

- the precompute practice scripts, which `tsconfig.agents.json` overlays with
  `docker/agents/precompute` through `rootDirs` and the agent image reproduces
  under `/opt/precompute` — `../lib/x` is the spelling both resolve
- the Bun specs under `server/src/test/resources`, which reach their subject
  across Maven's main/test split
- `webapp/tools/`, a self-contained tool outside the `src/` the alias maps to

`legal-content.test.ts` reads the shipped legal markdown from `public/`, which
Vite serves as a static asset and no alias reaches; that one is suppressed in
the file, so it expires if the imports ever move.

Converting `.storybook/preview.ts` to the alias exposed that the directory was
never type-checked at all: `include: ["**/*.ts"]` does not match a dot-directory,
so nothing in `.storybook/` had ever been through tsc. Including it surfaced a
real error — `createElement(Provider, props, children)` does not satisfy a
component whose props declare `children` as required — and the file turned out to
be written entirely in `createElement` calls because it was `.ts`. It is now
`preview.tsx` in JSX, which is what the linter asks for and what the file wanted.
Nine rules move from prose to the build, and the code moves to meet them.

**Manual memoization is gone.** React Compiler runs at build time, so
`useMemo`/`useCallback`/`memo` were redundant; `forwardRef` is legacy in React
19, where `ref` is an ordinary prop. 21 memos removed and the last `forwardRef`
retired. Four `useMemo` survive with the reason inline: three feed a value whose
identity a `useEffect` or TanStack Table depends on, and `react/incompatible-library`
already opts those components out of the compiler.

**A clock read during render is an error.** `new Date()` is invisible to every
shipped rule — oxlint has no `no-restricted-syntax` — so `no-nondeterministic-render`
covers it. Component code takes the time from a new shared ticking clock, stories
from a shared fixed one. That closed real bugs: an Outline token's expiry and a
rate-limit countdown only advanced when something else redrew the page.

**`data-testid` is banned**, and all 12 were dead — no test or story queried any
of them. `no-console`, `import/no-cycle`, `no-non-ascii-filename` and
`svg-needs-accessible-name` join them; a `console.*` that duplicated a toast is
gone, and one that hid a failed mentor upload became a toast.

`no-non-ascii-filename` closes the one capability this migration had listed as a
deliberate loss, so nothing Biome's linter did is now unenforced.

**Base UI 1.4.1 → 1.7.0.** Verified against the rendered DOM: the upstream fix
for `aria-orientation` on `role="group"` landed, so the local workaround is
deleted. Bringing four upstream fixes forward found two live defects — a primary
button whose hover style only applied when it rendered as a link, and a disabled
accordion item that still opened.

`check:story-sort` fails the build when a story title's top segment is missing
from `storySort.order`, or an entry there matches no story.
…ome-s-linter-with

Three conflicts, each this branch's rename against a change main made to the
same line, so both sides are kept:

- `check:env` gains main's `check-env-roles` leg, on the `.ts` paths this branch
  moved every script to.
- The app-server path filter keeps `webapp/biome.jsonc` and gains main's two
  compose triggers.
- The quality-gate summary keeps `LINT_OK` and gains main's `ENV_OK`.

`check-env-roles` arrived as untyped `.mjs`. Leaving it there would have exempted
it from `typecheck:scripts` and the type-aware lint rules — the split this branch
exists to remove — so it moves to TypeScript with the rest. Typing it closed a
real hole: `ROLE_FLAGS[role]` read `undefined` for a role absent from the table,
and `flags.get(undefined) === "false"` is false, so a role added to `ROLE_SCOPES`
but not to `ROLE_FLAGS` would have made every container count as running it and
the gate would have checked nothing for that scope. `Record<Role, string>` makes
that a compile error.

Behaviour is unchanged: the analyser's output was diffed against the `.mjs` across
eight scenarios, and each failure class was re-proven by planting a real breakage
in the compose files and application.yml.
Four audits re-derived every claim in the comments this branch added. Net
-515 lines across 143 files.

**Nine claims were false, and a false reason is worse than none** — the house
convention is a reason beside every exception, so the next reader believes it.
`FC` was said to force `children` onto components that take none, which stopped
being true at React 18. `usePostHog` was said to return `undefined` outside a
provider; it returns the un-inited singleton, so two guards were dead code.
A `z.enum` comment described Zod 3's constraint against the pinned Zod 4. Three
config reasons explained a minority of what their rule actually finds, and one
named a file that never mentioned the rule.

**The sharpest cut was prose restating an enforced rule.** Nine rules now say at
the call site what paragraphs used to say in prose — manual memoization, clock
reads, `data-testid`, `console`, relative imports. Prose keeps only what the
linter cannot say: which exception a site earns, and why.

**Root causes fixed rather than documented.** An `isActive` closure existed only
to defeat narrowing across an `await`; replacing it with an `AbortSignal` found a
real bug — a superseded survey lookup could still render, which the per-effect
counter could not catch, proven by a test that fails when the check is removed.
`asUI` was an identity function with a doc comment. Five dead exports in
`timeframe.ts` had been given a `now` parameter this branch and were maintained
dead. `prettierTransform` documented behaviour its body never had.

`unicorn/no-array-sort` was off in the root config for a reason that only holds
in the SPA: those trees declare `lib: ES2023`, so `toSorted` exists. Enabled, and
all 19 sites converted — every one was already copying the array first because
`sort()` mutates. Two rules that matched nothing there are dropped, and the docs
config loses twelve more copied from the SPA that its seven files never trip.
A `**/*` glob does not match a dot-directory, so nothing under `.storybook/`
had ever been through tsc. Adding `preview.tsx` caught one real error; the
remaining three config files were still outside the program. They compile clean.
**PMD never failed a build.** `maven-pmd-plugin` was configured
`failOnViolation=false` and `lint:java` passes `-q`, so `pmd:check` logged its
findings at WARNING and exited 0 — printing nothing. `pnpm run check` reported a
clean Java lint over **234 real violations in 158 files**. All cleared, the flag
flipped, and the gate proven to fail on a planted violation.

Fifty-two of those were `PreserveStackTrace`: a catch that threw a new exception
and discarded the original, so the log recorded where a failure was reported
rather than where it happened. Sign-in, JWT validation and Slack preferences were
all affected. Four more dropped a second exception at an inner catch and now use
`addSuppressed`.

One was a real bug wearing an unused-variable warning. GitLab sub-issue sync set
an `errorAborted` flag on every early exit and never read it, so a partial page
walk still ran the cleanup step — clearing `parentIssue` for every issue whose
link lived on a page that was never fetched, then reporting the sync completed.

`SimplifyBooleanReturns` is excluded, with the argument recorded in the ruleset:
28 of its 30 hits are guard tables where fusing the last branch into the return
orphans the comment carrying the RFC range it implements.

**`lint:java`, `check:diagrams` and `check:story-sort` ran in no workflow.** Each
now runs in the leg that owns it, with a job-summary row, each proven to fail on a
planted violation. `docs:lint` joins them and the `check` chain, having been red on
main for 80 MD049 violations — and it only ever covered 55 of 92 files, so the 33
ADRs and both runbooks were unlinted. Widening it found a paragraph that rendered
as a bullet list and an ADR template whose placeholders rendered as nothing.

**One test had never run.** `HephaestusApplicationTests` carried `@Tag("integration")`
but a name failsafe does not discover and surefire excludes. Renamed; it passes. A
new ArchUnit rule resolves every test class's tier through `extends` and
meta-annotations so the next orphan fails the build.

**`openapi-autocommit` could commit a failed generation.** `Commit files` and
`Push changes` were guarded on `always() && … != 'true'`; when generation fails the
skipped step's output is the empty string, which passes that test. Since
`generate:api` begins by deleting `webapp/src/api`, the workflow would have pushed
that deletion to the contributor's branch.

Base UI 1.7.0 is now actually used: a hand-rolled `role="separator"` becomes the
primitive that #5399 fixed, and a dead-CSS sweep against the rendered DOM found
scrollbars styled through `data-horizontal`/`data-vertical` — attributes Base UI
does not emit — leaving them 2px wide instead of 10px, and `disabled:` variants on
controls that render as a `<span>`, so a disabled checkbox never dimmed.
Arming PMD turned CI red on 16 violations that no local run reproduced. All 16
were false positives from PMD analysing without an auxclasspath: it cannot see
that a `switch` over an enum is exhaustive, nor that a wildcard import is used,
so it reported twelve complete enum switches as missing a default and three live
imports as unnecessary.

Locally the `quick` profile leaves `target/classes` populated from an earlier
build, so PMD resolved the types and reported nothing. A fresh checkout has no
classes, which is what CI runs. Reproduced by copying the tree without `target/`:
16 violations, and 0 from the same tree after a `compile`.

`lint:java` now compiles before analysing, so the analysis is the same one
everywhere. The exclusion also covers every generated root rather than the three
subdirectories it happened to list.

#1443 moves the practice-catalog surfaces into a drawer stack and #1512 changes
what a failed evidence check withholds. Both edit the files this branch had
refactored for the lint migration, so 24 hunks across 21 files collided. Each
takes main's behaviour with this branch's conventions re-applied on top.

Six routes became `beforeLoad` redirects, so our edits to the page components
they replaced go with the components.

The larger part of the work was not in the conflicts. Main's new files had never
met this branch's rule set — `check` is a strict superset of CI, so main was green
without ever running it — and they arrived with **74 lint errors and 62 type
errors**. All are fixed at the source rather than suppressed: `as` removed at
every site by giving the value a type instead (a filter-option list, a detail-stack
parser that matches against the kinds it is given rather than asserting, three
per-kind readers where a generic `===` could only ever assert), ~20 floating
promises voided or hoisted, and nine `array[0]` reads made safe under
`noUncheckedIndexedAccess`.

Three story files had copy-pasted the same settled-panel helper and three more the
same `querySelectorAll` cast; both now go through one helper in `src/test/overlay`.

`webapp/AGENTS.md` keeps this branch's deletion of the Skills table — the root
guide owns it and is loaded alongside — and all eight sections main added.

Tests rise: webapp 1118 → 1145 across 135 files, Storybook 1496 → 1614 across 272.

…at lie

Three audits re-derived every comment added since the last pass. Net -340 lines.

**Twenty-three claims were false.** A wrong reason is worse than none here,
because the convention is a reason beside every exception and the next reader
believes it. A dialog comment said Base UI "requires" a title — it spreads
`aria-labelledby: undefined` and renders silently unnamed. A spinner comment said
a live region "substitutes" a button's accessible name — descendant text is
concatenated, so "Save" stays "Save". A hook comment called a `declare module`
impossible that `webapp/src/types/router.d.ts` already does. An ArchUnit javadoc
cited a class renamed in the same commit that wrote the javadoc, and counted 870
test files where there are 933.

**Four config entries were inert** — `off` rules in categories the config already
turns off, and two allowances for a package neither tree depends on. Deleting
them changes nothing, which is the point: they read as decisions.

**Root causes fixed instead of documented.** A history stamp was duck-typed
through `unknown` with a comment explaining why; it is now declared on
`HistoryState` beside the flag that was already there. A `// NOPMD` suppressed
every rule on its line to avoid a one-token fix. A comment claimed an incomplete
GitLab page walk leaves existing links alone — a null `nodes` field broke the loop
without setting the flag, so the destructive cleanup ran on a partial view.

**The flaky server test was a dead config key.** `application-test.yml` raised the
`hephaestus` logger through a tree spelling `de.tum.in.www1`, renamed long ago, so
`root: WARN` governed. Spring reconfigures Logback JVM-wide, so the first
context-booting test in a fork dropped every later test to WARN and the asserted
INFO line was never emitted — alone, no context boots and it passed. One correctly
spelled key; the unit tier goes from 1 failure to 0 across 6718 tests.

**The `always()` defect had a third instance.** The comment step reports what
happened by testing `no_changes_detected == "true"`; a skipped step's output is the
empty string, so a failed generation took the else branch and told the contributor
their specs "have been automatically updated and committed".
