executable_bit.rs

//! `executable_bit` — assert every file in scope either has the
//! Unix `+x` bit set (`require: true`) or does not (`require: false`).
//!
//! Common uses:
//!   - Force every script under `scripts/` to be executable.
//!   - Force `.md`, `.txt`, `.yaml` to *not* be executable
//!     (a frequent accidental commit).
//!
//! Windows has no true executable bit; on non-Unix platforms the
//! rule is a no-op (never produces violations). Document this in
//! the config so platform-specific behaviour isn't a surprise.
