[2.0.4] - 2026-02-08

2.1.0

Minor Changes

• #148 82718c2 Thanks @ofri-peretz! - feat+fix: ILB-Wild FP reduction + two new quality rules

  no-unsafe-deserialization FP reduction (~112 FPs)

  • Track fs.readFileSync('literal') calls in literalPathFileVars — a file read with a hardcoded path (bundled config) is not user-controlled input for safe deserializers (JSON.parse, schema-validating parsers). eval() still fires even on literal-path reads.

  no-buffer-overread FP reduction (~129 FPs)

  • Remove b (single-char, too broad) and chunk (too common for array chunks) from the Buffer alias heuristic — isBufferType now only matches buf and bytes by name, reducing false matches on non-Buffer variables.

  New rule: modernization/prefer-template-literal

  • Flags "string " + variable concatenation and suggests the equivalent template literal.
  • Auto-fix produces the correct `string ${variable}` replacement.
  • Pure string literal chains ("a" + "b") and numeric addition are not flagged.
  • Closes P2 quality FN prob_string_concat in the ILB-Arena-Quality bench.

  New rule: modularity/no-mutable-exports

  • Flags export let and export var — module exports should be immutable const bindings so all importers share a stable reference.
  • Auto-fix replaces let/var with const.
  • Closes P2 quality FN prob_mutable_export in the ILB-Arena-Quality bench.

Rules

Presets

• recommended - Balanced modernization for most projects
• strict - All rules as errors for aggressive modernization

Why These Rules?

no-instanceof-array

instanceof Array fails across different realms (iframes, workers). Array.isArray() is the correct, reliable check.

prefer-at

Array.at() provides cleaner negative index access and is part of ES2022. This rule helps migrate legacy arr[arr.length - 1] patterns.

prefer-event-target

EventTarget is the native browser API and doesn't require Node.js polyfills like EventEmitter. This rule helps migrate browser code to use native APIs.

Migration Path

These rules are designed for incremental adoption:

1. Start with recommended preset (warnings)
2. Fix violations as warnings appear
3. Graduate to strict preset when ready
