Use `final` for Constants

Ensure that constants are declared with the final keyword to prevent modification.

Why this matters

Constants should be declared with final to prevent unintended modifications, ensuring immutability and safer code.

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

Avoid

static int MAX_VALUE = 100;

Prefer

static final int MAX_VALUE = 100;

From the same buckets as this rule.

Critical
Avoid Duplicating String Literals
Store repeated string literals in constants or variables to improve maintainability and reduce redundancy.

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.

Avoid modifying built-in prototypes
Detect modifications to built-in prototypes. Modifying built-in objects can lead to compatibility issues and unexpected behavior. Recommend creating helper functions instead.
