fix(coding-dev): scoped suppressions, contribution-dependent precedence
- suppressions: prefer the narrowest scope that covers the problem (line, function, module) with a reason comment; a project-wide disable silences the rule in code nobody has written yet. Always name the specific rule. Propagated to rust (#[allow]), csharp (#pragma/SuppressMessage). - precedence: a project's own rules win only when contributing upstream. For local/private work these rules win, adopting only the project's load-bearing conventions. - type checking must pass with zero errors *or warnings*.
