naming/identifiers

Checks every identifier against the naming settings: banned words, case, length, and word count.

Part of the naming configuration, at the all level. It runs at the commit stage, per file. gspot runs this check itself.

Names such as enhancedHandler, ensureConfigIfNeeded, and utils hide what the value holds or the code does.

Rename the thing after what it holds or does. To keep a name, list it exactly under allowed_names in a [[naming.override]] record with a reason, or change a limit with gspot set naming.<language>.max_words.

export const userHelper = 1; reports the banned word helper. Rename it after what it holds, such as userCount.

Turn it off for some files, with a reason:

gspot ignore naming/identifiers --paths "<glob>" --reason "<why>"
