-| `S2259` | Null pointers should not be dereferenced                    | Avoid calling methods on objects that may be null. Use `Objects.requireNonNull()` or `Optional`. |
 | `S2095` | Resources should be closed                                  | Use try-with-resources when working with streams, files, sockets, etc.                           |
 | `S1698` | Objects should be compared with `.equals()` instead of `==` | Especially important for Strings and boxed primitives.                                           |
 | `S1905` | Redundant casts should be removed                           | Clean up unnecessary or unsafe casts.                                                            |
 | `S3518` | Conditions should not always evaluate to true or false      | Watch for infinite loops or if-conditions that never change.                                     |
 | `S108`  | Unreachable code should be removed                          | Code after `return`, `throw`, etc., must be cleaned up.                                          |
