defer inside a loop runs only when the surrounding function returns, not at the end of each iteration. Resources such as files or locks pile up until then.
Category: QUALITY · Engine rule severity: WARNING
How to fix it
Move the loop body into a helper function (or closure) so the deferred call runs per iteration, or release the resource explicitly.
