Fix an error in local environments where running npm run lint shows an error like:

ESLint: 9.37.0

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /Users/annkilzer/dev/womeninsoftwarejp/home/node_modules/@stylistic/eslint-plugin/dist/index.js from /Users/annkilzer/dev/womeninsoftwarejp/home/eslint.config.cjs not supported. Instead change the require of index.js in /Users/annkilzer/dev/womeninsoftwarejp/home/eslint.config.cjs to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules. at Object. (/Users/annkilzer/dev/womeninsoftwarejp/home/eslint.config.cjs:14:19)

The solution is to use EcmaScript module format rather than a Common JS file.

Pull request overview

This PR resolves an ESLint runtime error in local environments caused by loading an ESM-only plugin (@stylistic/eslint-plugin) from a CommonJS ESLint flat config.

Changes:

• Replaced the CommonJS flat config (eslint.config.cjs) with an ESM flat config (eslint.config.js) using import/export.
• Added ESM-compatible __dirname handling via fileURLToPath(import.meta.url) for FlatCompat’s baseDirectory.

eslint.config.js	New ESM flat config to prevent require()-of-ESM errors when loading ESM-only ESLint plugins.
eslint.config.cjs	Removed prior CommonJS flat config that triggered the local lint failure.

@ann-kilzer was the error showing when you run the Node version from main?
I can't replicate the issue, so I am unsure how to test it
