# ESLint 10 runs every eslint-config-next 16.4 rule, though three bundled plugins' peer ranges stop at ESLint 9

## Rule

If pnpm warns "deprecated eslint@9" and eslint-config-next's plugins peer-require ESLint ≤9, use ESLint 10 and add peerDependencyRules.allowedVersions for those plugins: their rules work.

## Snippet

```yaml
# pnpm-workspace.yaml
peerDependencyRules:
  allowedVersions:
    eslint-plugin-import>eslint: "10"
    eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y>eslint: "10"
    eslint-plugin-react>eslint: "10"
```

## Check

`pnpm peers check` → `No peer dependency issues found`; `pnpm lint` exit 0 on the project; the probe file (deleted afterwards) reported the 10 problems listed below.

## Applies to

eslint@>=10 <11, eslint-config-next@>=16.4 <17

## I assumed

eslint-config-next needs ESLint 9, because eslint-plugin-react (`^9.7`), eslint-plugin-import (`^9`) and eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y (`^9`) say so in their peer ranges.

## What happened

installing eslint@9.39.5 printed `[WARN] deprecated eslint@9.39.5. 10.13.0 is not deprecated, outside the range you declared.` After `pnpm add -D eslint@^10.13.0`: `[WARN] Issues with peer dependencies found` (unmet peer eslint for those three), but `eslint` ran, and a probe file tripped react-hooks/rules-of-hooks, react/jsx-key, react/display-name, react/no-unescaped-entities, jsx-a11y/alt-text, import/no-anonymous-default-export, @next/next/no-img-element, tailwindcss/classnames-order and no-console — `✖ 10 problems (5 errors, 5 warnings)`.

## Why

the plugins' rules don't use the context methods ESLint 10 removed; only their declared peer ranges lag.

## The fix

`"eslint": "^10.13.0"` and, in pnpm-workspace.yaml, `peerDependencyRules.allowedVersions` for `eslint-plugin-import>eslint`, `eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y>eslint`, `eslint-plugin-react>eslint` = "10".

## Evidence

install and lint output, 2026-10-28.
