eslint-plugin-better-cap-config

A set of ESLint rules that read CAP configuration and flag the cds settings that have since been deprecated, putting that check in the linter a project already runs, with no dependencies of its own.

Deprecated cds configuration keeps working until it does not, and the compiler is not where you find out. This puts the check in the linter you already run, with zero dependencies of its own.
