# no-shadow

Disallow shadowing variables from outer scopes.

## Targeted pattern scope

This rule walks lexical scopes and reports variable declarations that reuse
names from parent scopes.

Enum declarations are intentionally ignored.

## What this rule reports

This rule reports variables that reuse names from outer scopes.

Enum declarations are skipped both when evaluating the current declaration and
when evaluating potential outer-scope matches.

## Why this rule exists

Shadowing can hide outer bindings and make data flow harder to reason about.

## ❌ Incorrect

```ts
const x = 1;
function f() {
 const x = 2;
 return x;
}
```

## ✅ Correct

```ts
const x = 1;
function f() {
 const y = x + 1;
 return y;
}
```
