 10. The system must migrate the package manager from Yarn v1 to pnpm, updating all CI workflows and package.json scripts.
 11. The system must drop legacy browser targets (IE 11, Safari 8, iOS 8, Android 4.4) and adopt rolling browserslist targeting modern browsers aligned with Shopify Online Store theme requirements. This is a **breaking change** requiring a major version bump to 4.0.0.
-12. The system must migrate from ESLint 3.3.1 to ESLint 9 flat config with @typescript-eslint, enabling the following rules:
-    - `@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any` (error)
-    - `@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-assignment` (error)
-    - `@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-member-access` (error)
-    - `@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-call` (error)
-    - `@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-return` (error)
-    - `@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-argument` (error)
-    - `@typescript-eslint/explicit-function-return-type` (warn — error after Phase 4)

-    - `@typescript-eslint/no-unnecessary-type-assertion` (error)
-    - Note: `no-unsafe-*` rules only apply to `.ts` files. During migration, `.js` files are excluded from TS-specific rules.
+12. The system must migrate from ESLint 3.3.1 to ESLint 9 flat config with @typescript-eslint. The authoritative rule configuration is in `eslint.config.mjs`. Rules are organized into error-level (blocks CI), warn-level (upgrade to error after Phase 4), and warn-level complexity categories. TypeScript rules only apply to `.ts` files; JS files get `eslint:recommended` + browser globals. `src/types/` has an override suppressing known `any`/`Function` debt (deferred to PR 20).
 13. The system must migrate the build system from Rollup 1 + Babel 7 + UglifyJS to Vite library mode, producing UMD, ESM, and CJS outputs. Output bundles must be functionally equivalent to pre-Vite builds (same exports, same UMD global, similar size).
 14. The system must migrate the test framework from Mocha + Testem + Browserify to Vitest + happy-dom, in two steps: runner swap (PR 7a) and Sinon → vi migration (PR 7b).
 15. The system must modernize aws-sdk v2 to @aws-sdk/client-s3 v3 in the CDN deploy script (`script/deploy.js`), replacing `@shopify/js-uploader` entirely (incompatible with v3's API).
