EU Liability Window Lint

Runs the same checker as our npm package on a Node.js runtime that pip installs for you (nodejs-wheel-binaries) - no system Node.js needed. Your files are checked locally.

12 rules read your CHANGELOG.md the way Directive (EU) 2024/2853 will read it from 2026-12-09: undated releases lose the start of the 10-year window in Art. 17(2), and the AS-IS clause is void under Art. 15.

Install

pld-liability-window-lint file

Node 18+. The same 12 rules as the VS Code extension, from a terminal or CI.

Free

• Lints the open CHANGELOG.md or release-notes file against all 12 rules and names every line, with its number, that will not carry a liability date, a support window or an identified defect on 2026-12-09.
• --rules lists every rule

With a licence ($29 once)

• Lints every changelog in the workspace in one pass and writes a dated Markdown + CSV evidence record you keep and file.

pld-liability-window-lint --dir ./templates --report html --out report.html

One hour of EU product-compliance counsel bills around $300, and one repository's release history takes longer than an hour to read.
