//! Semantic control-logic security rules over the Structured Text AST.
//!
//! Each rule walks the parsed [`Pou`] and yields [`RuleHit`]s the scanner turns
//! into findings. Rules reason over structure (declarations, assignments, calls,
//! array accesses, division, jumps) rather than raw text, so they see through
//! formatting and comments.
