The @actions/github v9 upgrade introduced ESM-style imports with .js extensions in TypeScript declaration files and stricter types. ESLint's import plugin cannot parse these, causing the Rebuild Action workflow to fail with 78 errors.

Changes

ESLint configuration (eslint.config.mjs):

  • Add @actions/github to import/ignore to bypass parse errors from ESM imports
  • Disable no-unsafe-argument, no-unsafe-call, no-unsafe-return (consistent with existing no-unsafe-assignment, no-unsafe-member-access)

TypeScript configuration (tsconfig.json):

  • Add baseUrl: "." and paths mapping for @octokit/core/types subpath export resolution

Source files:

  • Remove 8 now-unused eslint-disable directives

Risk assessment

Low risk: Configuration-only changes to accommodate dependency upgrade. No logic changes.
