# Critical Linting Errors That Must Be Fixed

## Current Status: BLOCKING Issues Identified

The linting system has revealed 150+ violations across multiple categories that must be addressed immediately.

## EditorConfig Violations (High Priority)

### Missing Final Newlines

- All `.serena/memories/*.md` files missing final newlines
- Multiple project configuration files affected
- This is a BLOCKING issue per user instructions

### Line Length Violations

- Fish shell configs exceed 80-character limit (`.editorconfig` enforced)
- Memory files have lines exceeding 120-character limit
- WezTerm configuration files have long lines

### Indentation Errors

- Git configuration using tabs instead of spaces
- WezTerm color scheme files using tabs vs spaces
- Perl scripts with inconsistent indentation

## Markdownlint Issues (Memory Files)

### Systematic Problems Across All Memory Files

- Missing blank lines around headings (MD022)
- Lists not surrounded by blank lines (MD032)
- Fenced code blocks not surrounded by blank lines (MD031)
- Trailing punctuation in headings (MD026)
- Missing language specification for fenced code blocks (MD040)
- Missing final newlines (MD047)

### Specific Files Affected

- `areas_for_improvement.md`: 20+ violations
- `code_style_conventions.md`: 15+ violations
- `critical_linting_errors.md`: 25+ violations
- `darwin_system_utilities.md`: 15+ violations
- `immediate_action_items.md`: 25+ violations
- `project_overview.md`: 15+ violations
- `project_structure.md`: 20+ violations
- `shellcheck_issues.md`: 15+ violations
- `suggested_commands.md`: 25+ violations
- `task_completion_checklist.md`: 10+ violations

## Prettier Formatting Issues

### JSON Configuration Files

- `.commitlintrc.json`, `.eslintrc.json`, `.luarc.json`
- `.releaserc.json`, `.github/renovate.json`
- Host-specific configurations in `config/` directory

### YAML Files

- `.mega-linter.yml` formatting inconsistencies
- Various configuration files needing formatting

## Immediate Action Required

1. **Fix memory files**: Apply markdown formatting rules
2. **Run auto-fixers**: `yarn fix` to address automatic fixes
3. **Manual corrections**: Address remaining EditorConfig violations
4. **Validation**: Ensure `yarn lint` passes completely

## Impact Assessment

These violations prevent:

- Successful CI/CD pipeline execution
- Code quality standards compliance
- Pre-commit hook success
- Project maintainability standards

Per user instructions: "Linting issues ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE" and "EditorConfig problems are blocking errors"
