During October 2025, Ali Motahari focused on improving code quality in the TanStack/query repository by addressing a false positive in the no-unstable-deps ESLint rule. He enhanced the rule to correctly recognize useQueries hooks that utilize the combine property, introducing a dedicated hasCombineProperty helper to support this logic. The solution was implemented in TypeScript and JavaScript, with comprehensive unit tests to ensure ongoing reliability and prevent regressions. Ali’s work demonstrated careful code analysis and a strong understanding of ESLint and React Query, resulting in more accurate linting behavior and improved maintainability for future development in the repository.
