Pull request overview
Implements ESLint-compatible sourceCode.markVariableAsUsed() in Oxlint’s JS plugin SourceCode shim and adds a fixture-based snapshot test to validate behavior across ESM and CommonJS scope layouts.
Changes:
- Implement
markVariableAsUsed(name, refNode?)inapps/oxlint/src-js/plugins/scope.ts, including defaultingrefNodetoProgramand handling the global→module/outer-function scope transition. - Add a new fixture (
sourceCode_markVariableAsUsed) with a JS plugin and ESM/CJS input files to exercise marking variables as used at different scope levels. - Add a snapshot (
output.snap.md) and fixture.oxlintrc.jsonto lock expected output.

Fixes #19971. Implement `sourceCode.markVariableAsUsed`. It has some shortcomings at present - it does mark vars as used, so any other JS plugins can see that, but it doesn't communicate this info back to Rust side, so `no-unused-vars` doesn't act on it. But at least it doesn't cause a crash with "unimplemented" error. The remaining issue is tracked in #20350.
