Avoid Creating Objects Just to Call `getClass()`

Ensure that objects are not created solely for calling `getClass()`. Use `ClassName.class` instead.

Why this matters

Creating an object solely to call `getClass()` wastes memory and CPU cycles. Use `ClassName.class` instead.

Side-by-side examples engineers can pattern-match during review.

Avoid

MyObject myOb = new MyObject();  // Noncompliant
Class c = myOb.getClass();

Prefer

Class c = MyObject.class;

Bad

MyObject myOb = new MyObject();  // Noncompliant
Class c = myOb.getClass();

Good

Class c = MyObject.class;

From the same buckets as this rule.

Avoid Blocking Calls to Async Methods
Blocking async methods with `.Result` or `.Wait()` can cause deadlocks and prevent efficient asynchronous execution. Use `await` instead for proper async behavior.

Fingerprint assets and cache immutably
All static JS/CSS/font/image files MUST use content-hashed filenames (e.g., app.9c1a7b.js) and be served with "Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable". HTML and other non-fingerprinted documents MUST be served with "Cache-Control: no-cache" (or equivalent) to enable conditional revalidation.

No live network or DB in unit tests—use fakes/mocks
Unit tests must stub or fake external HTTP/DB calls; allow real I/O only in integration/e2e tests tagged accordingly.
