The post-write lint runs `npx tsc --noEmit <file>` on a single .ts file with
no `-p tsconfig`. tsc ignores tsconfig.json for explicit file args, so for any
file in a real TS project it floods phantom diagnostics — unresolved path
aliases (@/... -> TS2307) and ambient globals (Window.hermesDesktop -> TS2339)
that the project config defines. The delta filter sees the same phantom errors
pre- and post-edit, finds no NEW ones, and returns the misleading
'pre-existing lint errors ... the file is still broken' on a perfectly correct
one-line edit — wasting the caller's turns chasing nonexistent breakage.
Existing code already skips shell tsc when an LSP server claims the file, but
that only fires with LSP configured+enabled (not the default), leaving the
common LSP-disabled case fully exposed.
Fix: when an ancestor tsconfig.json exists (local host only), skip the per-file
shell tsc for .ts — its verdict carries zero signal for project files. Real
diagnostics still come from the LSP tier or an explicit `tsc -p tsconfig.json`.
Best-effort ancestor walk; remote/sandbox backends fall back to running the
linter as before. (.tsx already returns skipped via the ext-not-in-LINTERS
branch.)
Tests: ancestor-tsconfig .ts -> skipped even with LSP off; standalone .ts with
no ancestor tsconfig -> shell tsc still runs. 7/7 in the LSP-skip suite.
