1940268 - Add a linter to ensure that names are not specified in non-published package.json files

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Infrastructure :: Developer Environment Integration, task, P3)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

For places where we're using a package.json file for dependencies, but not for publishing, we do not need to specify a package name in the package.json file. Having a name may cause confusion as to if the package is published or not. Hence, we want to enforce having no name specified, unless it is a published package.

Writing a linter do this seems the best way for now. In future we could potentially use a custom ESLint rule, however that requires an update to ESLint v9 (bug 1872685), and a switch to their JSON parser implementation.
