+# ADR-001: Use ESLint Flat Config (eslint.config.js)
+
+**Status:** ACCEPTED
+**Date:** 2026-01-01
+**Issue:** ISSUE-003
+**Runbook:** [RUNBOOK-eslint-config](../runbooks/RUNBOOK-eslint-config.md)
+
+## Context
+
+PR #5 failed pre-commit hook with error:
+```
+TypeError: Error while loading rule '@typescript-eslint/no-unused-expressions'
+```
+
+### Root Cause Analysis (5 Whys)
+
+1. **Why did the hook fail?** ESLint threw a TypeScript plugin error
+2. **Why was TypeScript ESLint used?** A global `eslint.config.mjs` at `~/` extends `typescript-eslint`
+3. **Why did global config take precedence?** ESLint searches up directory tree; flat config (`eslint.config.*`) takes precedence over legacy (`.eslintrc.*`)
+4. **Why does global config exist?** Developer has global Node.js tooling with TypeScript ESLint at `~/node_modules/`
+5. **Why doesn't project isolate from global configs?** **No flat config in project** - only legacy `.eslintrc.json` which was also broken (invalid JSON with comments)
+
+### Contributing Factor
+
+The original `.eslintrc.json` contained JavaScript-style comments (`//`), which are invalid JSON:
+
+```bash
+$ node -e "JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('.eslintrc.json', 'utf8'))"
+SyntaxError: Expected property name or '}' in JSON at position 287 (line 19 column 5)
+```
+
+This caused ESLint to fall back to searching parent directories, eventually finding the global TypeScript config.
+
+## Decision
+
+**Use ESLint flat config format (`eslint.config.js`)** instead of legacy format (`.eslintrc.*`).
+
+### Why Flat Config?
+
+| Factor | Legacy (`.eslintrc.*`) | Flat Config (`eslint.config.js`) |
+|--------|------------------------|----------------------------------|
+| **Global config isolation** | Searches up directory tree | Project config takes precedence |
+| **Comments** | JSON: no, JS: yes | JavaScript: yes |
+| **ESLint 9 compatibility** | Deprecated | Native format |
+| **Config merging** | Complex cascading | Explicit array composition |
+| **Type checking** | None | JSDoc support |
+
+### Why Not Other Options?
+
+| Option | Verdict | Reason |
+|--------|---------|--------|
+| Fix `.eslintrc.json` (remove comments) | Rejected | Still vulnerable to global config override |
+| Convert to `.eslintrc.js` | Rejected | Still searches up directory tree |
+| Add `root: true` | Rejected | Legacy format, deprecated in ESLint 9 |
+| Use flat config | **Accepted** | Project takes precedence, future-proof |
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+- Project ESLint config takes precedence over global configs
+- JavaScript comments are valid (documentation preserved)
+- Ready for ESLint 9 (flat config is default)
+- Simpler mental model (explicit array, no cascading)
+
+### Negative
+- Must install `@eslint/js` and `globals` packages
+- Syntax differs from legacy format
+- `--ext` flag removed in flat config
+
+### Neutral
+- Same linting rules and behavior
+- Same ESLint version (8.57.x)
+
+## Implementation
+
+See [RUNBOOK-eslint-config](../runbooks/RUNBOOK-eslint-config.md) for implementation steps.
+
+### Summary of Changes
+
+1. Created `eslint.config.js` (flat config format)
+2. Deleted `.eslintrc.json` (broken JSON with comments)
+3. Updated `package.json` lint scripts (removed `--ext .js`)
+4. Simplified `.husky/pre-commit` (removed test coverage check)
+5. Updated `lint-staged` config (removed `vitest related --run`)
+
+## UNIX Rules Applied
+
+- **Rule #5 (Fail Early, Fail Loud):** Global config silently took precedence
+- **Rule #7 (Prefer Simple Over Clever):** Flat config is simpler than cascading legacy
+- **Rule #8 (Build for Debuggability):** Error message was misleading (TypeScript error in JS project)
+- **Rule #12 (Respect the Environment):** Project must isolate from developer's global environment

+# RUNBOOK: ESLint Configuration
+
+**Status:** ACTIVE
+**Issue:** ISSUE-003
+**ADR:** [ADR-001](../adr/ADR-001-eslint-config-format.md)
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+ESLint pre-commit hook fails when:
+1. Global ESLint config takes precedence over project config
+2. Legacy config uses invalid JSON (comments in `.eslintrc.json`)
+
+## Root Cause
+
+ESLint config resolution order:
+1. **Flat config** (`eslint.config.js`) - takes absolute precedence
+2. **Legacy config** (`.eslintrc.*`) - searches up directory tree
+
+If project uses legacy format and developer has global flat config, global wins.
+
+## Current Solution
+
+Project uses **flat config** (`eslint.config.js`) which:
+- Takes precedence over any parent directory configs
+- Supports JavaScript comments natively
+- Is ESLint 9 native format
+
+## Verification Procedure
+
+### Step 1: Verify Config Exists
+
+```bash
+ls -la eslint.config.js
+# Should exist and be non-empty
+```
+
+### Step 2: Verify No Legacy Config
+
+```bash
+ls .eslintrc* 2>/dev/null && echo "WARN: Legacy config found" || echo "OK: No legacy config"
+```
+
+### Step 3: Verify ESLint Works
+
+```bash
+npm run lint
+# Should run without "TypeError: Error while loading rule" errors
+```
+
+### Step 4: Verify Pre-Commit Hook
+
+```bash
+# Stage a file
+git add eslint.config.js
+
+# Test commit
+git commit --dry-run -m "test"
+# Should pass without @typescript-eslint errors
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Error: `@typescript-eslint/no-unused-expressions`
+
+**Cause:** Global TypeScript ESLint config taking precedence
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Verify `eslint.config.js` exists in project root
+2. Delete any `.eslintrc.*` files
+3. Run `npm run lint` to verify project config used
+
+### Error: `Invalid option '--ext'`
+
+**Cause:** Using legacy CLI options with flat config
+
+**Solution:** Remove `--ext .js` from npm scripts:
+```json
+{
+  "lint": "eslint .",  // NOT "eslint . --ext .js"
+}
+```
+
+### Error: `Cannot find module '@eslint/js'`
+
+**Cause:** Missing flat config dependencies
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+npm install --save-dev @eslint/js globals
+```
+
+## Prevention Checklist
+
+- [ ] Project uses `eslint.config.js` (not `.eslintrc.*`)
+- [ ] No legacy config files in project
+- [ ] CI validates ESLint config before running lint
+- [ ] Pre-commit hook validates config exists
+- [ ] Package.json scripts use flat config CLI syntax
