| The delivery prototype's 116-run matrix covers mocha 12.0.1, vitest 5.0.1, jest 30.5.1, and `node:test` on Node v26.3.0, using `eslint@10.10.0` with `lib/rule-tester/rule-tester.js` byte-identical to the RFC's pin. | ||

Add end-to-end suggestion fixtures.
The prototype checks descriptor.fix but never exercises a suggestion case. messages[].suggestions uses a separate validation and output path. Add fixtures for non-empty suggestions, empty suggestions, and suggestion-only rules before relying on these results.

Clarify that empty invalid arrays do not trigger the assertion.
The RFC intentionally emits no verdict unless an invalid case executes. The behavior matrix states this explicitly. However, the requireFix and requireSuggestions option descriptions only say “Require” the corresponding behavior and do not state this limit. Add the empty-invalid rule to the option documentation and examples so users do not expect an armed rule with invalid: [] to fail.

Resolve the known false positive in no-framework RuleTester mode.
The behavior matrix states that immediate default handlers reduce aggregation to one run() and produce a false positive. A rule with its only fix or suggestion in a later run() can fail an earlier run despite having coverage. Fix callback delivery for immediate execution, or explicitly exclude no-framework RuleTester usage from this option's contract.

I think the name is misleading.
My first thought would be that this would require adding output: null if there was no fix or that each test case must be fixable.
From a conceptual standpoint, the problem is that we do not know whether run is called again with test cases which would be fixable / have suggestions.
As such I think a single option signifying that there is no other run for the same rule. This would allow additional checks in the future (e.g. minimum amount of test cases or checking whether each message from rule.meta.messages is used).

||
| Each armed run with invalid cases registers its coverage callback as the last `it()` inside the run's `invalid` suite. | ||
| Mocha runs a suite's own tests before its child suites, so a sibling callback after the invalid suite executes before the invalid cases it is supposed to follow. | ||
| The `invalid` suite starts at `lib/rule-tester/rule-tester.js:1944`; the coverage callback belongs after the case-registration loop ends at line 1987 and before the suite closes at line 1988. |

This seems unnecessarily complicated.
We can just use the passed invalid test cases after all the test cases have run (to make sure that each is correct):
const hasFixableTestCase = invalid.some(({ output }) => output != null);We could either add this assertion in an additional created test case after the invalid test cases or just throw an error.

Thanks for the PR, but this looks like overly verbose AI-generated content that is very difficult to review. As such, I'm closing it in accordance with our AI Usage Policy: https://eslint.org/docs/latest/contribute/ai-policy#human-responsibility

RuleTestergains opt-in assertions requiring a rule that declaresmeta.fixableto produce at least one autofix and a rule that declaresmeta.hasSuggestionsto produce at least one suggestion across the test cases that actually run. This RFC addresses eslint/eslint#18008 following nzakas' invitation. Per-rule accumulation has zero measured false positives across 75 fixable and four suggestion rules in jsdoc, eslint-plugin, n, yml, and promise; the check governs their tests using ESLint's ownRuleTester, with@stylisticand import-x's separate harnesses outside its reach.Summary by CodeRabbit
RuleTesterassertions that verify rules declaring autofix or suggestions actually provide them during invalid test cases.
