Linter: Implement actionview-prefer-pluralize-helper rule

[joaoGabriel55]

Overview

Adds a new linter rule, erb-prefer-pluralize-helper, that flags calls to String#pluralize with a count argument in ERB templates and recommends the ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper#pluralize helper instead.

The helper form (pluralize("Alias", count)) prepends the count to the output and reads naturally in a template, whereas "Alias".pluralize(count) typically forces the count to be rendered separately — leading to duplicated output like <%= aliases.size %> <%= "Alias".pluralize(aliases.size) %>.

<!-- 🚫 Bad -->
<%= aliases.size %> Known <%= "Alias".pluralize(aliases.size) %>

<!-- ✅ Good -->
Known <%= pluralize("Alias", aliases.size) %>

The offense message includes a concrete, source-derived suggestion, e.g.:

Prefer the pluralize helper over String#pluralize for counts. Use <%= pluralize("Alias", aliases.size) %> instead.

Type of Change

• ✨ New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)

Main Technical Changes

• New rule erb-prefer-pluralize-helper (javascript/packages/linter/src/rules/erb-prefer-pluralize-helper.ts), modeled on the existing Prism-based erb-no-debug-output rule:
  • Uses parserOptions: { prism_program: true } and a PrismVisitor to walk CallNodes.
  • Flags a call when the method name is pluralize, the receiver is a string literal (StringNode / InterpolatedStringNode), and it has at least one argument (the count). This scoping avoids false positives on non-string receivers (e.g. model.pluralize(count)) and on the argument-less "Alias".pluralize, matching the "for counts" intent of the issue.
  • Default severity: warning; introducedIn: "unreleased".
  • The suggested fix is reconstructed from the original source spans of the receiver and arguments via a small slice() helper.
• Registered the rule in src/rules.ts and re-exported it from src/rules/index.ts.
• Added docs page docs/rules/erb-prefer-pluralize-helper.md and linked it from docs/rules/README.md (required by the rule-docs completeness test).

How to Test

cd javascript/packages/linter
npx vitest run test/rules/erb-prefer-pluralize-helper.test.ts   # new rule tests (9)
npx vitest run test/rule-docs.test.ts                           # docs completeness
npx tsc -b                                                      # typecheck

The rule test covers valid cases (helper form, argument-less String#pluralize, non-string receivers, unrelated string methods) and invalid cases (string-literal pluralize with a count in both <%= %> and <% %> tags).
