Rule pattern example

The engine’s matching pattern, not a confirmed exploit. Metavariables and ellipses describe matching syntax.

$X = $X

Source: packages/engine/rules/quality/go.yml.

Generated from shipped rule definitions at build time. Matching is a review signal, not proof of exploitability. “generic” denotes text matching, not complete language or framework coverage. Runtime configuration and available tools affect whether a rule runs.
