I keep encountering this pattern. Seems worth documenting, especially given function contravariance is confusing enough on its own.
Note
Low Risk
Documentation-only change that clarifies a narrow TypeScript typing edge case; no runtime or behavior impact.
Overview
Adds a new TypeScript guideline section explaining when
anyis the only workable type for callback parameter positions that are constrained from both sides (bidirectional assignment under--strictFunctionTypescontravariance).Includes a concrete example contrasting
unknown,never, andany, plus guidance that theeslint-disableis intentional and scoped to avoid propagatingany.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 7849776. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
