Research direction

Start by checking the type definitions, Oracle documentation, and docs/rule-priority.md to decide whether the rule belongs in this plugin and which N/encode APIs replace the listed globals. Then investigate how rules detect SuiteScript contexts, including the @NScriptType false-positive risk, and settle the autofix, severity, and preset questions. Done means those decisions are resolved and the rule behavior and placement are specified.

Description

enhancement needs-triage

TODO: add a rule that prefers N/encode over btoa/atob, Buffer and TextEncoder, which are not available server-side.

Open questions for triage:

  • Confirm against the type definitions and Oracle docs (docs/rule-priority.md tiers) that this is preferable and what the exact replacement APIs are.
  • Detection approach and false-positive risks (e.g. script type via @NScriptType).
  • Whether to offer a fix.
  • Default severity and preset placement.
