alint-rules 0.9.21

//! `file_starts_with` — every file in scope must begin with the
//! configured prefix (byte-level).
//!
//! Useful for SPDX headers (when `file_header`'s line-oriented
//! matching is too loose), magic bytes on binary formats, or a
//! required "do not edit — generated" banner. Works on any byte
//! content, not just UTF-8.
//!
//! Check-only: the correct fix is to call `file_prepend` with
//! the same content, and having the rule do it implicitly would
//! silently duplicate the prefix on files that start with a
//! similar but non-matching string.
