Enter submit without IME composition guard

- **Category:** Bugs
- **Severity:** warn
- **Source:** oxlint-plugin-react-doctor
- **Framework:** global
- **Enabled when:** i18n

## Validate the diagnostic

Confirm the reported code matches this rule before you edit it.

Confirm the reported code matches `react-doctor/no-enter-submit-without-ime-composition-guard`. Compare it with the Before example and verify the same API, framework, and execution context. Treat it as a false positive only when one of those conditions differs.

## Compare the code

The corrected pattern shows a focused way to address the diagnostic.

### Reported pattern

```tsx
const Field = ({ isComposing, onSave }) => {
  const commitEdit = () => {
    onSave();
    if (isComposing) return;
  };
  return (
    <input
      onKeyDown={(event) => {
        if (event.key === "Enter") commitEdit();
      }}
    />
  );
};
```

### Corrected pattern

```tsx
const Field = ({ onSave }) => {
  const commitEdit = () => {
    onSave();
  };
  return (
    <input
      onKeyDown={(event) => {
        if (event.key === "Enter" && !event.nativeEvent.isComposing) {
          commitEdit();
        }
      }}
    />
  );
};
```

## How to fix

Use the corrected pattern as a reference. Preserve behavior that the rule does not require you to change.

### Copyable fix prompt

Copy this self-contained prompt into your coding agent after you confirm the diagnostic.

````text
Fix every confirmed `react-doctor/no-enter-submit-without-ime-composition-guard` diagnostic in the current repository.

Required change:
- Bail on IME composition before acting on Enter: `if (e.nativeEvent.isComposing) return;` (or track composition with `onCompositionStart`/`onCompositionEnd`). Otherwise Enter fires mid-composition and commits a half-typed value for CJK users.

Reference transformation:

Before:
```tsx
const Field = ({ isComposing, onSave }) => {
  const commitEdit = () => {
    onSave();
    if (isComposing) return;
  };
  return (
    <input
      onKeyDown={(event) => {
        if (event.key === "Enter") commitEdit();
      }}
    />
  );
};
```

After:
```tsx
const Field = ({ onSave }) => {
  const commitEdit = () => {
    onSave();
  };
  return (
    <input
      onKeyDown={(event) => {
        if (event.key === "Enter" && !event.nativeEvent.isComposing) {
          commitEdit();
        }
      }}
    />
  );
};
```

Constraints:
- Confirm the reported code matches the Before pattern.
- Make the smallest change that fixes the root cause.
- Preserve behavior and interfaces unrelated to this diagnostic.
- Reuse existing project components, utilities, and conventions.
- Do not introduce render-phase side effects, render-phase state updates, or Hooks rule violations.
- Adapt identifiers and framework details instead of copying blindly.
- Do not disable the rule or suppress matching code.
- Confirm this rule is enabled for the project: `i18n`.

Verification:
- Run focused tests for the changed behavior.
- Run React Doctor and confirm this diagnostic no longer appears.
- Report the files changed and any checks you could not run.
