A pattern like **/!(*.*) would match only files without extension I believe.

@aladdin-add I rebased to main but the browser test is still failing: https://github.com/eslint/eslint/actions/runs/9352097110/job/25739399981?pr=18539. Any clues? |

yes, It's not 100% reproducible, I filed a new issue: #18548 |

That last sentence doesn't seem correct to me. JavaScript linted by default isn't a result of config objects without files or ignores. Maybe this?

Yeah, actually it's a result of the default patterns being what they are and also the fact that config objects without files or ignores apply to all linted files. I will elaborate.
