 Both key on the SECRET-NESS of the identifier, never on the comparison or the type alone — `if (a === b)` and `String name` are not findings. Length checks (`sig.length === 64`) and sentinel presence checks (`apiKey === null`) are excluded: the first leaks nothing an attacker cannot already measure, and the second is not a secret comparison at all. Keep it that way. A noisy specialist rule is worse than none, because it teaches people to ignore the whole class.
