📝 Disallow unnecessary comparisons against boolean literals.
💼🚫 This rule is enabled in the ✅ recommended config. This rule is disabled in the ☑️ unopinionated config.
🔧 This rule is automatically fixable by the --fix CLI option.
Comparing a value that is already known to be boolean against true or false adds noise without changing the result.
This rule only reports comparisons where the non-literal side is known to be boolean. It intentionally does not report unknown values like value === true, because strict identity comparison against true is not equivalent to a truthiness check.
