Remove redundant null-assertion operators

Avoid `!` when nullability is already proven or a safer alternative (`??`, early return) exists.

Why this matters

Reduces risk of unexpected late null errors and clarifies intent.

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

Avoid

final len = items!.length; // items may be null

Prefer

final list = items ?? const [];
final len = list.length;

Bad

value!.doSomething()

Good

final v = value ?? defaultV; v.doSomething()

Critical
Avoid Empty Methods
Detect methods that have an empty body. If a method is empty, ensure that a comment is present explaining why it remains unimplemented.

Critical
Avoid equality operators in loop termination conditions
Check if loops use equality operators (== or !=) in termination conditions. These can lead to infinite loops if the condition is never met exactly. Instead, use relational operators like < or > for safer loop termination.

Critical
Avoid Equality Operators in Loop Termination Conditions
Ensure that relational operators (`<`, `>`) are used instead of equality operators (`==`, `!=`) in loop termination conditions.
