[8.3.0] - 2026-02-08

8.2.4

Patch Changes

• #143 213cde1 Thanks @ofri-peretz! - fix(no-missing-null-checks): eliminate 53 false positives via three new narrowing patterns

  Rules that were recognized as null guards are now correctly identified as safe:

  1. Truthy if guard — if (obj) { obj.prop } — direct truthy check proves non-null. Also covers chains: if (response) protects response.data.items.
  2. Short-circuit AND — obj && obj.prop — right side of && only runs when left is truthy.
  3. Ternary consequent — obj ? obj.prop : fallback — truthy test guards the consequent.

  Also: bumped beforeAll timeout to 30 seconds in 7 compatibility test files (__compatibility__/*.spec.ts). Native-addon packages routinely exceed the previous 10-second default on a cold ESM load.
