Summary

  • Replace stylelint with @lyricalstring/gale — a drop-in Stylelint replacement written in Rust
  • Remove stylelint-scss, stylelint-order, @stylistic/stylelint-plugin, postcss-scss — Gale has all these rules built-in (44 SCSS rules, 3 order rules, 59 stylistic rules)
  • No config changes neededbuild/.stylelintrc.json stays exactly the same

Why

Gale produces byte-for-byte identical output to Stylelint while being significantly faster. Differential tested against Joomla specifically: 24 warnings matched perfectly across 169 files, 0 false positives, 0 false negatives.

  • Same rules, same config, same warnings, same severity, same line/column
  • 270+ built-in rules (including SCSS, stylistic, and order rules)
  • Supports stylelint-disable comments, extends, and all config formats

Test plan

  • npm run lint:css produces identical output
  • All 24 existing warnings still reported at same locations
  • No regressions in CI

You have ignored the pull request template and its required checkboxes. They were there for a reason.

You earlier version of the pull request clearly stated it was
🤖 Generated with Claude Code

You chose to delete that and hide that you didnt do anything here but use AI

No thanks

I see you have spammed lots of other projects with the same pr

I also think its dishonest of you not to also declare that gale is your own code and its just one week old. There is no way that a mature project like Joomla or any of the others that you have spammed would ever chose to use such immature code.

Hi @brianteeman,

I'm sorry, and this message is being written by hand. You're absolutely right that I did use AI, and I was just trying to remove it because it looks ugly on the message and also contained a link to Claude, but the commit does show it was done by Claude, apologies.

I created Gale with the idea of basically rewritting something that works, which is Stylelint, in a faster language, as Rust.

I'm sorry for creating this PR without following guidelines, and sorry for the poor first impression. If there's any chance to actually make it work, I'd happy to talk and work on this further.

Again, sorry.

I should not have proceeded forward with opening a bunch of PRs. My original idea was to use such as big and important projects as examples on what real-word scenarios for this challenge would be, and now that I thought it was passing all tests and they provided value, I was gonna continue testing with more and more open-source projects, but before doing so I said "well, if it already works on them, why not start with those PRs and move on", but that might have been a bad decision, and I've reconsidered and closed all other PRs.
