 ## Unreleased
 
+### Breaking CHanges
+
+-   Updated recommended ruleset to enforce [`import/no-unresolved`](https://github.com/import-js/eslint-plugin-import/blob/main/docs/rules/no-unresolved.md) for `@wordpress/` packages. These packages were previously exempted from the rule.
+-   Removed default configuration of [`import/internal-regex`](https://github.com/import-js/eslint-plugin-import/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#importinternal-regex) to classify `@wordpress/` packages as internal. From the perspective of an external consumer of this package, `@wordpress/` packages should be considered external.
+
 ## 22.21.0 (2025-11-12)
 
 ### Enhancements
 
-- Disabled `import/no-unresolved`, `import/default`, and `import/named` checks for TypeScript files when TypeScript is installed, since these issues are [already checked by TypeScript](https://typescript-eslint.io/troubleshooting/typed-linting/performance/).
-- Improved resolution behavior to support modern package export semantics by updating default import resolver to [`eslint-import-resolver-typescript`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-import-resolver-typescript), including for non-TypeScript files.
