Unused {} directive (no matching {} directives were found).

Error message

Unused {} directive (no matching {} directives were found).

What it means

Diagnostic from create_unused_directives_diagnostics: a bare oxlint-enable/eslint-enable comment had no matching disable directive anywhere in the file, so re-enabling rules that were never disabled is a no-op and signals a mistaken or leftover comment.
