`remark-lint-no-undefined-referenes`'s `allow` option does not affect auto-fix behavior

[r4ai]

Initial checklist

• I read the support docs
• I read the contributing guide
• I agree to follow the code of conduct
• I searched issues and discussions and couldn’t find anything (or linked relevant results below)

Affected package

remark-lint-no-undefined-references@5.0.2

Steps to reproduce

A minimal and reproducible repository is available here:

https://github.com/r4ai/remark-lint-no-undefined-references-broken-auto-fix

Detailed reproduction steps are provided in the project’s README.md.

Actual behavior

When the allow option is used with remark-lint-no-undefined-references, warnings are correctly suppressed for the allowed references, but the auto-fix still runs.
For example, with the option { allow: ["hoge"] }, [hoge] no longer triggers a warning, yet the automatic fixer still rewrites it to \[hoge].

Expected behavior

References specified in the allow list should be excluded from auto-fixing.
Continuing the example above, with { allow: ["hoge"] }, [hoge] should remain unchanged and not be rewritten to \[hoge].

Runtime

node@22.15.0

Package manager

10.9.2

Operating system

Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

Build and bundle tools

remark-stringify doesn't respect the allow settings.

You are seeing two things. remark-lint-no-undefined-references reports text that looks like undefined references. remark-stringify (used via remark-cli) formats the markdown in a way that avoids ambiguous syntax. The input and output are equivalent, so it shouldn’t really be a problem.

The escaped syntax also works fine with GitHub alerts:
