Summary

A declaration sitting inside a namespace that is itself inside declare global or declare module "..." still gets reported by useNamingConvention, and the offered fix is a safe one, so biome check --write renames it without asking. Those two ambient positions are documented as always ignored, and #11827 fixed the one-level case; this extends the same treatment to the nested one, so an ambient block is ignored however deeply the declaration sits inside it.

scope_from_declaration (crates/biome_js_analyze/src/lint/style/use_naming_convention.rs:1464) stops at the nearest control flow root, and TsModuleDeclaration is itself one of those roots (crates/biome_js_control_flow/src/visitor.rs:215). The search therefore halts at the inner namespace, answers Scope::Global, and never sees the declare global above it. The fix keeps that nearest-root search and, when the root is a TsModuleDeclaration, checks its own ancestors for TS_EXTERNAL_MODULE_DECLARATION or TS_GLOBAL_DECLARATION before answering Scope::Global.

I deliberately did not make the search simply walk past TsModuleDeclaration, which is the shorter change: that would also turn function f() { namespace N { ... } } from Scope::Global into Scope::Any and silently pick different default conventions for declarations in a namespace inside a function body, which is well outside this bug. Checking for an ambient ancestor leaves every non-ambient case resolving exactly as before.

#11827's two fixtures put a namespace directly inside the ambient block, one level only, which is why the nested case went unnoticed.

Test Plan

Two new valid specs, validNestedGlobalNamespace.ts and validNestedExternalModuleNamespace.ts, each holding a nested namespace and a nested interface, because every declaration kind routed through scope_from_declaration has the same problem and interface reaches it by a different arm. On main both names get a selector and fail the default formats; with this change no selector is produced for either.

The two .snap files are written by hand, byte for byte, from the committed valid*.ts / valid*.ts.snap pairs sitting next to them. cargo fmt --check -p biome_js_analyze is clean on the toolchain this repo pins. I have not run cargo test locally, so CI is the check on the snapshots and I will fix whatever it reports.

Docs

No options or documented behaviour change; this brings the rule in line with the "Ignored declarations" section it already ships.

Walkthrough

The useNamingConvention rule now checks ancestors for TS_MODULE_DECLARATION. It returns no scope for declarations nested in external module or global declarations, and retains global scope otherwise. Two fixtures verify nested namespace and interface names in both contexts. A patch changeset documents the correction.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a8602

The PR is low risk, but the changeset should be corrected before merge so its release documentation is complete and accurate.

Remove the safe-fix claim.

The ignored declaration produces no rule state or diagnostic. biome check --write therefore has no fix to apply.

Suggested wording
-Both positions are documented as always ignored, and the rule offers a safe fix, so `biome check --write` renames the declaration:
