Superseded — @babel/core is being removed as a direct devDependency (it's an auto-installed peer of @wordpress/eslint-plugin / @babel/eslint-parser). This bump to 8 can't resolve anyway: @babel/eslint-parser's peer caps @babel/core below 8.

dependabot · 2026-07-19T11:02:08Z

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.

`@babel/core` is a peer dependency of both `@wordpress/eslint-plugin` (`>=7`) and its `@babel/eslint-parser` (`^7.11.0`), and is bundled by neither — so npm auto-installs it (npm 7+). It resolves to the latest 7.x (capped below 8 by the parser's peer range) and stays in the lockfile, so `npm ci` remains deterministic and dogfooding still works. Keeping it as a direct devDependency added nothing but a maintenance liability: it made Dependabot repeatedly propose `@babel/core@8`, which can never resolve because the parser peer caps it below 8 (PR #265). Removing the direct entry lets the version follow WordPress's peer ranges and drops that noise.
