March 2026 monthly summary for aspect-build/rules_lint. Delivered a critical bug fix to ensure buf lint SARIF violations are treated as errors in CI by adding the %E severity prefix to the SARIF output. This aligns with project conventions (Ruff/Ty linters) and prevents lint violations from being masked as warnings, improving CI reliability and reducing time-to-detection of issues. The change includes code update, documentation notes, and guidance for internal release notes. Manual verification confirmed enforcement via Aspect Workflows in the internal repository.

January 2026 (Month: 2026-01) – Aspect-build/rules_lint focused on strengthening linting reliability, configurability, and tooling compatibility. Key feature delivered: Linting System Enhancement with a new --force-exclude option to exclude specific files from lint checks, paired with an update of the ty tool to version 0.0.9. Major bugs fixed: none reported for this repo this month; effort concentrated on feature enhancement and tooling upgrade. Overall impact: reduced CI noise and faster feedback by enabling targeted file exclusions, improving code quality gates while preserving lint rigor. Technologies/skills demonstrated: dependency upgrades and tool integration (ty 0.0.9), feature flag design, and changeset maturity demonstrated through the commit focusing on #695."

February 2025: Focused on stabilizing Gazelle's per-file generation behavior for Python targets in monorepos. Completed a bug fix in JetBrains/rules_python to prevent incorrect merging of multiple py_binary targets during partial updates, and added regression tests to cover cases with multiple Python binaries lacking __main__.py. This work enhances build correctness, reduces maintenance risk, and improves monorepo consistency.
