-- Initial release: five bQuery-specific rules and a recommended flat config ([bQuery/bQuery#228](https://github.com/bQuery/bQuery/issues/228), developed in [bQuery/bQuery#278](https://github.com/bQuery/bQuery/pull/278)): `no-top-level-dollar`, `prefer-scoped-reactivity`, `no-dynamic-trusted-html`, `no-value-in-untracked` and `prefer-subpath-imports` (autofixes root imports to module subpaths from an export map generated from the published `@bquery/bquery` declaration files).

+A `.value` read there looks reactive but is not. The rule reports `.value` reads of bQuery signals directly inside such callbacks and suggests `.peek()`, which states the intent and never subscribes.
+
+An identifier counts as a signal only when the rule can prove it: it is declared in the same file as a `const` (or a `let` / `var` that is never reassigned) and initialised with a call to a bQuery signal factory imported from `@bquery/bquery`, a module subpath or `/full` (named, renamed or namespace import):

+- `useCookie()` (platform), `reducedMotionSignal()` (motion), `keyboardUserSignal()` / `focusVisible()` (a11y), `isActiveSignal()` (router), `draggablePosition()` / `sortableOrder()` (dnd).
+
+Everything else is ignored, because its `.value` may not belong to a signal and `.peek()` would throw: DOM elements (`input.value`), `Map` entries and plain objects, function parameters, signals imported from other modules or passed around, destructured bindings and unresolved globals. Writes (`x.value = …`, `x.value++`), the callback's own parameters and locals, and reads in nested functions are ignored too.

 ### prefer-subpath-imports
 
 The root `@bquery/bquery` entry re-exports every module. Importing from the module subpath (`@bquery/bquery/reactive`, `@bquery/bquery/core`, …) keeps the module graph small for bundlers, dev servers and tests, and documents which module a name comes from.
