chore: align outliers in _tools/lint with namespace majority patterns

[Planeshifter]

Description

Aligning outliers in _tools/lint with namespace majority patterns (random namespace pick, seed 20260429).

Namespace summary

• Members analyzed: 9 (filenames, header-filenames, license-header, license-header-file-list, license-header-glob, namespace-aliases, pkg-json, pkg-json-names, repl-txt)
• Autogenerated members excluded: 0
• Features analyzed: file tree, package.json shape, README sections (set + ordered), test/benchmark/example file naming, public signature, validation prologue, error construction, JSDoc shape, @stdlib/* dependencies, return kind
• Features with a clear majority (≥75%): file tree (universal core), README L2 section set + order, public signature (options, clbk), validation prologue clbk: isFunction, error construction format, JSDoc hasExample true, return kind void, dependency core (@stdlib/string/format, @stdlib/assert/is-string, @stdlib/assert/is-function, @stdlib/assert/is-plain-object, @stdlib/utils/define-nonenumerable-read-only-property, @stdlib/process/cwd, @stdlib/assert/has-own-property)
• Features without a clear majority: package.json scripts/stdlib keys (universally empty in this _tools/* namespace — no signal), benchmark file conventions (no benchmark/ directories present)

pkg-json-names

Fixes _tools/lint/pkg-json-names/lib/async.js line 47, where the @param type for clbk was {Function} rather than {Callback}. The {Callback} JSDoc type is the established convention in 7 of 9 (78%) _tools/lint/* siblings.

namespace-aliases

Adds test/test.js to _tools/lint/namespace-aliases, bringing it in line with the 89% majority pattern across the _tools/lint namespace (8 of 9 siblings). The smoke test asserts the main export is a function exposing a .sync method, matching the boilerplate established in _tools/lint/filenames and _tools/lint/pkg-json.

Validation

Checked:

• Structural feature extraction across all 9 members (file tree, package.json keys/scripts/stdlib, README L2/L3 sections, manifest shape, test/benchmark/example file naming).
• Semantic feature extraction via per-package agents reading lib/main.js / lib/index.js / lib/validate.js (signature, return kind, validation prologue, error construction, JSDoc shape, dependencies).
• Three-agent drift validation: opus semantic-review (intentional vs unintentional deviation), opus cross-reference (test/example reliance + sibling documentation), sonnet structural-review (majority applicability).

Deliberately excluded:

• license-header deviating on returnKind/publicSignature — intentional (sync string-blob primitive).
• license-header-file-list deviating on publicSignature — intentional (positional file list is the API contract).
• license-header-glob and namespace-aliases missing test/fixtures/stdin_error.js.txt — neither CLI consumes stdin.
• license-header missing lib/sync.js/lib/validate.js/test counterparts — async/sync split inapplicable to a synchronous primitive.
• license-header-file-list missing lib/validate.js — validation is inlined in main.js by design.
• pkg-json and repl-txt empty <section class="notes"> — placeholders need package-specific content authoring (no mechanical fix).
• namespace-aliases missing test/test.sync.js — a meaningful test would require fixtures the package lacks.
• namespace-aliases missing @stdlib/process/cwd dependency — package resolves a stdlib root via internal lib/root.js, intentional.

The full audit (per-feature majorities, conformance percentages, every outlier and the reason it was kept or dropped) is preserved in a local drift report alongside the seed (20260429) for reproducibility.

Other

This PR is intentionally narrow — only two drift corrections survived three-agent validation in this namespace, and they sit on disjoint outlier packages.

Disclosure

This PR was authored by Claude (Anthropic) running an automated cross-package API drift detection routine: a structural + semantic feature pass over the namespace, majority-vote analysis at a 75% threshold, three-agent validation of every candidate, and mechanical alignment for the outliers that survived.
