Applies to: all
What it catches and why it matters
Unicode character that is visually identical to an ASCII one, such as Cyrillic А for A.
Failing example
These synthetic fragments illustrate the defect; they are not complete interchange files. Backslash escapes name bytes such as \r (CR) and \n (LF).
N1*PR*АCME~ (the first letter is Cyrillic U+0410, not Latin A)
How to fix it
Confirm the intended value with the source. For accidental lookalikes, preview edilint fix --unsafe, which proposes substitutions; inspect the diff before adding --write.
False positives and limits
A legitimate name in another alphabet may contain a character resembling an ASCII letter. Do not transliterate names merely to clear a warning. The unsafe fix tier requires deliberate review.
Acknowledgments and suppression
No direct acknowledgment code is mapped for this rule. Suppress the rule with --disable EL1005, or list it under "disable" in .edilint.yml. To accept the occurrences a file already has without suppressing the rule, record them with --write-baseline and run with --baseline. Reference: https://crb2nu.github.io/edilint/rules/EL1005.html
