What if the diff adds a new linter rule, should we only run it on the linter config file?
What if the linter uses more context than a single file, a type-checker for example or even just checking the correct number of arguments (regardless of type) are passed to an imported function - or that that symbol is indeed even callable? Should we only run the linter on the caller's file, or the callee's, when they haven't both changed?
Run the linter on the code base then, when you make the change? Not every check-in on the off chance a rule changed. Or, add some logic that the CI runs it against the whole code base only when the rules changed, otherwise just the relevant files to the commit/pr
Also, ESLint doesn't do type checking. That's typescripts job, and apparently typescripts runtime isn't an issue.
