PR Checklist

• Addresses an existing open issue: fixes 🐛 Bug: ancestor .mocharc.cjs is chosen over a local .mocharc.js #6395
• That issue was marked as status: accepting prs
• Steps in CONTRIBUTING.md were taken

Issue #6395 is still labeled status: in triage, so the second item stays unchecked until a maintainer relabels it

Overview

Since 12.0.2, findConfig calls find-up-simple once per filename, so .mocharc.cjs is searched up to the filesystem root before .mocharc.js is looked for in the current directory. A parent .mocharc.cjs is loaded even when the working directory has its own .mocharc.js

findUpSyncAny now walks one directory level at a time and confines each filename lookup to that directory via stopAt. Filename priority applies only among files in the same directory. Parent lookup is unchanged when the current directory has no config file

Verification

• npm run test-node: exit 0, including 1304 unit and 391 integration passing
• eslint and prettier clean on the changed files
• Manual repro from the issue: local .mocharc.js is now used, while 12.0.3 used the parent .mocharc.cjs

Tests

• Updated the findConfig() unit tests to assert the per-directory search order
• Added a regression test with a local .mocharc.js next to an ancestor .mocharc.cjs, which fails without the fix

lint:knip-docs still reports the pre-existing unused satteri dependency in docs/package.json
