`prettier` pre-commit hook archived (and issues with `.mdx`)

[mgorny]

When working on the docs recently, I'm frequently seeing, while trying to commit:

check yaml...........................................(no files to check)Skipped
fix end of files.........................................................Passed
trim trailing whitespace.................................................Passed
check for added large files..............................................Passed
check for case conflicts.................................................Passed
check for broken symlinks............................(no files to check)Skipped
prettier.................................................................Failed
- hook id: prettier
- exit code: 1

[error] No files matching the given patterns were found

ruff format..........................................(no files to check)Skipped

I went to https://github.com/pre-commit/mirrors-prettier investigate, and noticed it's been archived:

prettier made some changes that breaks plugins entirely

Should we consider replacing it?

[mgorny]

Looking at https://prettier.io/docs/precommit/, they have 5 different options and it also seems as if they are deliberately ignoring pre-commit. That said, pre-commit's architecture is pretty bad (du -hs ~/.cache/pre-commit/ if in doubt), so perhaps switching to one of the other tools makes sense.

Yep, I'd be in favor of changing this. Apparently, popular options include Biome or dprint. I also want to replace markdownlint with rumdl because the former keeps breaking locally.
