#Why it matters

Direct DOM lookups make React trees harder to refactor and fail to model multi-node or fragment-based rendering safely.

#Remediation

Attach a ref directly to the rendered element, or forward refs through component boundaries instead of reading DOM nodes imperatively.

#Repository path

The generated metadata points to critiq-rules/libs/rules/catalog/rules/typescript/ts.react.no-find-dom-node.rule.yaml.
