[dependabot]

Bumps cspell from 9.8.0 to 10.4.0.

Release notes

Sourced from cspell's releases.

v10.4.0

Features

feat: Add --glob-symlinks to follow symbolic links when matching globs (#9342)

Summary

cspell lint can now follow symbolic links in glob searches, with --glob-symlinks. Glob searches skip linked files and linked directories by default, so a tree made of links, such as Bazel runfiles, found nothing to check.

Closes #7700.

Feature

cspell lint --glob-symlinks "**"

• --glob-symlinks follows symbolic links, and searches linked directories, when matching globs. Links are followed wherever they point.
• CSPELL_GLOB_SYMLINKS=true does the same for a whole job. --no-glob-symlinks overrides it.
• API: globSymlinks in the lint options.
• It can't be set in a configuration file.
• Files are reported by the path through the link. A file reached by two paths is checked under both.
• It applies only to glob searches. For --file, --files, and --file-list documents, use --follow-symlinks.

• The design decisions are recorded in docs/ADRs/glob-symlinks/.
• Link loops, such as a link to a parent directory, are stopped by the glob search after one level.

feat: Respect COLUMNS for help and table width (#9358)

Summary

Help, and the tables from cspell trace and cspell dictionaries, now follow the COLUMNS environment variable. That lets you choose a narrower width, which helps with large fonts and screen magnifiers. The help in the cspell README now fits on npmjs.com without scrolling sideways.

Feature

Set COLUMNS to pick the output width:
