indent_style.rs

//! `indent_style` — every non-blank line in each file in scope must
//! indent with the configured style: `tabs` or `spaces`.
//!
//! The check is byte-level and only inspects the *leading* run of
//! whitespace on each line. Mid-line tabs or spaces are not the
//! rule's business (many formatters use a mix for alignment after
//! the indent column).
//!
//! Optional `width`: when `style: spaces`, the number of leading
//! spaces must be an exact multiple of `width`. Ignored for
//! `style: tabs` since a tab is a single character regardless of
//! visual width.
//!
//! Check-only. Auto-converting tabs ↔ spaces requires knowing the
//! visual tab width, and the correct conversion for continuation
//! indentation is language-specific — so this rule flags but does
//! not repair. Users typically pair it with their editor's own
//! "reindent on save" feature.
