lint: zero out eqeqeq violations (225 → 0) via null-ignore config + codemod

[adm01-debug]

Summary

ESLint problems: 1939 → 1725 (−214). All 225 eqeqeq violations resolved.

What changed

eslint.config.js — accept idiomatic null checks

'eqeqeq': ['error', 'always', { null: 'ignore' }]

Categorization of the 225 violations: all are x == null / x != null patterns — the canonical "is null OR undefined" check used in many places (price formatting, optional FK checks, etc.). Forcing strict equality here would either:

1. Require (x === null || x === undefined) boilerplate at every site, OR
2. Introduce subtle bugs by missing the undefined branch.

The { null: 'ignore' } option is the standard typescript-eslint recommendation for codebases that use this idiom.

scripts/codemod-strict-equality.mjs (new)

Defensive tool for any future non-null == / != that slip through. Token-aware scanner that:

• Skips strings (single/double/template), comments (line + block), regex literals (heuristic disambiguation)
• Recognizes == and != that are NOT part of ===, !==, =>, ==>
• Preserves operands that are the literal null (config already silences these, but the codemod keeps them too as defense-in-depth)
• Promotes == → === and != → !== otherwise

node scripts/codemod-strict-equality.mjs            # rewrite src/
node scripts/codemod-strict-equality.mjs --check    # CI gate
node scripts/codemod-strict-equality.mjs path/file  # one file

Tested on a mixed-cases sandbox (== null preserved, == 5 promoted, != null preserved, != 5 promoted). Did not find any non-null cases in current src/ (the config change handled all 225), but stays as a defensive tool for future regressions.

Note on the build process

I initially attempted a more aggressive codemod that promoted all == → === (including null comparisons), but reverted it after a bug produced ==== artifacts. The fixed codemod (with proper boundary guards on ===/!== token detection) is what's shipped.

Validation

Metric	Before	After

tsc --noEmit	exit 0	exit 0
npm run test failing files	10 (pre-existing, see PR #28)	10 (same)
