Rules adapted from t3code's oxlint plugin, limited to the parts that apply to plain JavaScript and TypeScript.

Bundled policy (on by default)

  • typescript/ban-ts-comment with allow-with-description for @ts-ignore, @ts-expect-error and @ts-nocheck. A bare directive is now an error; one with a reason passes. The policy has 198 rules.

New anti-slop rules (off by default, enable in [lint.rules])

Rule Flags
anti-slop/no-test-in-loop describe/it/test/suite calls inside a for loop in a test file. Suggests .each.
anti-slop/no-unreasoned-test-skip xit/xdescribe/xtest, .skip, .todo and { skip: true } with no #123 or URL comment above.
anti-slop/no-low-value-comments Divider comments, step labels in tests, TODO/FIXME with no link, JSDoc {types} in TS, JSDoc tags with no description, commented-out code, and comments that only restate the next name. Directives (eslint-, @ts-, c8, #region, licenses, …) are skipped.
anti-slop/no-hookless-use-function A use* function in a React file that calls no hook.
anti-slop/no-real-time-wait-in-tests Promise-timer sleeps (node:timers/promises) and new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, …)) in tests, unless the file uses fake timers.
anti-slop/no-polling-loop-in-tests Loops in tests that wait on a tick or a sleep each turn until a predicate holds. A loop with a fixed count is allowed.

anti-slop/no-ambient-nondeterminism

  • Also reports process.hrtime.bigint().
  • No longer reports a value passed to a mock (mockReturnValue, mockResolvedValue, vi.fn, vi.spyOn, vi.setSystemTime, …).

Shared code

  • shared/testing.rs: test-file detection, test-chain helpers, and is_test_framework_object, which moved from no_module_mocking.rs.
  • shared/timers.rs: promise-timer imports and tick-promise detection.

Verification

  • cargo fmt --all --check passes.
  • cargo clippy -p fmtkit-lint --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings passes.
  • cargo test -p fmtkit-lint --locked passes.
  • Each rule has a table test with flagged and allowed cases.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added six anti-slop rules covering hookless React functions, low-value comments, polling loops, real-time waits, tests inside loops, and unexplained skipped tests.
    • Added shared analysis for test frameworks and timers.
    • Expanded detection of ambient nondeterminism and undocumented TypeScript directive comments.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of mock-based time and randomness setup.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the documented Oxlint policy total from 197 to 198 rules.

The bundled policy now requires a reason on @ts-ignore, @ts-expect-error
and @ts-nocheck (typescript/ban-ts-comment, allow-with-description).

New anti-slop rules, off by default like the rest:

- no-test-in-loop: no describe/it/test inside a for loop; use .each.
- no-unreasoned-test-skip: a skipped or todo test links its issue.
- no-low-value-comments: dividers, step labels, unlinked TODOs, JSDoc
  types in TypeScript, empty JSDoc tags, commented-out code, and
  comments that restate the next name.
- no-hookless-use-function: a use* function in a React file calls a hook.
- no-real-time-wait-in-tests: no promise-timer or new-Promise sleeps in
  tests unless the file uses fake timers.
- no-polling-loop-in-tests: no loop that spins on a tick or sleep until
  a predicate holds.

no-ambient-nondeterminism also catches process.hrtime.bigint(), and no
longer reports values passed to mocks (mockReturnValue, vi.fn, ...).

Walkthrough

Changes

The bundled Oxlint policy now requires descriptions on TypeScript suppression directives. The anti-slop rule set adds six rules, shared test and timer analysis, updated ambient nondeterminism handling, and benchmark tooling now uses hyperfine 1.x.

TypeScript directive policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Directive policy and verification
crates/lint/policy/oxlintrc.json, crates/lint/tests/linter.rs, README.md
The bundled policy reports bare @ts-expect-error, @ts-ignore, and @ts-nocheck directives. Tests cover directives with and without descriptions. The README documents 198 bundled rules.

Anti-slop rules

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared test and timer analysis
crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/shared/*, crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/no_ambient_nondeterminism.rs, crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/no_module_mocking.rs, crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/tests/no_ambient_nondeterminism.rs
Shared utilities identify test files, test chains, test-framework objects, timer calls, and timer promises. Ambient nondeterminism checks recognise mock contexts and process.hrtime.bigint(). no_module_mocking uses the shared test-framework helper.
React hook and comment checks
crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/no_hookless_use_function.rs, crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/tests/no_hookless_use_function.rs, crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/no_low_value_comments.rs, crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/tests/no_low_value_comments.rs
Two rules report hook-like React functions that call no hooks and selected low-value comment groups. Tests cover reported cases and exclusions.
Test timing checks
crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/no_polling_loop_in_tests.rs, crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/tests/no_polling_loop_in_tests.rs, crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/no_real_time_wait_in_tests.rs, crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/tests/no_real_time_wait_in_tests.rs
Two rules report polling loops and real-time waits in test files. They account for advancing counters and fake timers, with tests for supported and excluded cases.
Test registration checks and rule wiring
crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/no_test_in_loop.rs, crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/tests/no_test_in_loop.rs, crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/no_unreasoned_test_skip.rs, crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/tests/no_unreasoned_test_skip.rs, crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/mod.rs, crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/tests/mod.rs
Two rules report test declarations inside loops and skipped tests without a preceding issue link. The rule registry and registration tests include all six new rules.

Benchmark tooling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Benchmark tool version pin
.github/workflows/bench.yml, scripts/bench.sh
The benchmark workflow and requirement comment specify hyperfine 1.x. The workflow grants read-only repository contents permission and pins the installation action.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

…ction

Function::is_declaration() also matches TSDeclareFunction, so every
overload signature of a real hook, and every `declare function useX()`
in a .d.ts or .tsx file, was reported. A signature with no body has
nothing to check.
hyperfine 2.0.0 (2026-10-07) runs benchmarked commands without a shell by
default, so bench.sh's `cd … && fmtkit check` command is rejected, and it
changes the --export-json schema that bench.sh reads the mean from. The
workflow installed the latest release, so every pull request's bench job
now fails.

The bench workflow runs pull-request code, so its GITHUB_TOKEN only needs
to read the repository, and the action that installs hyperfine is pinned
to the commit v2 points at today rather than the mutable tag.

🟡 Minor · Include imported promise timers in new Promise analysis. · timers.rs:74-97

crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/shared/timers.rs:74-97
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Include imported promise timers in new Promise analysis.

is_tick_promise sends new Promise executors to starts_timer, but TimerCall checks only is_callback_timer. That check excludes locals imported from node:timers/promises, so a resolving form such as await new Promise(resolve => sleep(10).then(resolve)) is not marked as a wait. The polling loop can therefore escape no-polling-loop-in-tests.

Keep is_callback_timer unchanged. Check is_call in TimerCall so callback-style timers remain supported.

Suggested fix
     fn visit_call_expression(&mut self, call: &CallExpression<'a>) {
-        self.found |= self.timers.is_callback_timer(&call.callee, self.names);
+        self.found |= self.timers.is_call(&call.callee) || self.timers.is_callback_timer(&call.callee, self.names);

🟡 Minor · Resolve fake-timer bindings before suppressing waits. · no_real_time_wait_in_tests.rs:49-63

crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/no_real_time_wait_in_tests.rs:49-63
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Resolve fake-timer bindings before suppressing waits.

FakeTimers::detect checks only the raw receiver name. It misses import { vi as clock } from "vitest"; clock.useFakeTimers(), so the rule can report a wait after fake timers are enabled. It also accepts unrelated local vi or jest objects, so the rule can suppress a real-clock wait.

Make the shared resolver accept Semantic and use it in FakeTimers::detect. This keeps the existing cached lookup and fixes both binding cases.

🟡 Minor · Recognise chained test modifiers before checking loop ancestry. · no_test_in_loop.rs:50-59

crates/lint/src/rules/anti_slop/no_test_in_loop.rs:50-59
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Recognise chained test modifiers before checking loop ancestry.

it.concurrent.skip("case", fn) is a supported test declaration. test_call_name returns None because its object is it.concurrent, not a bare test identifier. The rule therefore skips the loop check. Use the shared chain-root logic. Keep is_inside_loop unchanged so the existing function-boundary exemption remains active.
