Then their build will fail and they will have to manually do the changes. (Or like npm run lint). However, this wasn't an issue before, everyone just uses a formatter.

Linter runs in CI and if it fails, the build fails.

Essence? If the whole company is using the same rules no one can complain about code style on a PR. If you do, create linter update ticket

Love brothers of metal, they are great.
