ESlint not working correctly with recent @wordpress/scripts update

Why this is a good first issue

ESLint functionality broke after a dependency update, requiring version compatibility checks.

AI Summary

The issue reports ESLint no longer working correctly after updating @wordpress/scripts, likely due to version mismatches with ESLint or configuration conflicts. The problem needs investigation into dependency compatibility and rule application. The main blocker is understanding the exact breaking change in the dependency chain.

Issue Description

Description

ESLint plugin no longer works correctly for me, it does not recognize wordpress dependencies (probably related to #74630), but also does not recognize spacing and other wordpress-specific rules and falls back to prettier/prettier rules. I believe this is connected with recent updates of eslint version (8.3.0 -> 8.57.1), see #74316 , I updated @wordpress/scripts from version 31.1.0 to 31.5.0 and it stopped working.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

Install @wordpress/[email protected] and set up config as described in docs for @wordpress/eslint-plugin. See if it works properly. Update @wordpress/[email protected] and see if there is difference in linting.
