[birme]

Automated orphan-PR review (daily-backlog-pr, Phase 3.5).

This is a major-version bump of `@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin` (7.18.0 → 8.71.0). CI is red across the board on the bump commit — `builds`, `lint`, `prettier`, `tests` all FAILURE and `e2e` cancelled — which is consistent with the ESLint 8.x → flat-config / peer-dependency changes this major requires. The diff only touches `package.json`/`package-lock.json`, so the breakage is the upgrade itself, not unrelated code.

Requesting changes: this needs the accompanying ESLint config migration (and a matching `@typescript-eslint/parser` bump) before it can land. Not mergeable with failing CI.

[birme]

Automated daily-backlog-pr orphan-PR review (2026-10-16). CI is red across builds/lint/prettier/tests — bumping @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin 7.18.0→8.71.0 is a breaking major upgrade.

Not mergeable as-is — holding. This is a dependency bump that needs code migrated to the new major version (or a rebase) before CI can go green; a maintainer or the dependency-updater should take it from here.
