033/**
034 * <div>
035 * Checks that a {@code permits} clause of a sealed class or interface is not
036 * unnecessary, i.e. that it is not possible to omit the clause and have the
037 * compiler infer the exact same set of permitted subtypes.
038 * </div>
039 *
040 * <p>
041 * See the <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se22/html/jls-13.html#jls-13.4.2">
042 * Java Language Specification</a> for more information about sealed classes.
043 * </p>
044 *
045 * <p>
046 * This Check does not perform full type resolution. It determines whether a
047 * permitted type is local to the file by comparing simple names against every
048 * type declaration (class, interface, enum, or record) found
049 * anywhere in the compilation unit, including nested and sibling top-level
050 * types. As a result, a permitted type whose simple name coincidentally
051 * matches an unrelated local type declaration could, in theory, be
052 * misidentified as local. In practice this situation cannot occur in code
053 * that compiles, since the Java compiler would not be able to resolve such an
054 * ambiguous reference in the {@code permits} clause.
055 * </p>
