}Deterministic loop parse: flags zero-based `for` loops bounded by `.Length` or `.Count` and incremented by one, when the body uses the index only inside `[i]` subscripts.

Index for-loop.
`for (int i = 0; i < items.Length; i++)` where `i` is only used to read `items[i]`. A `foreach` with extra plumbing.
Examples
Flagged shape and clean shape.
Each example shows the exact code shape the rule is looking for, then the smallest version that keeps the intent without hiding risk or adding noise.
foreach (var order in orders)
{
Ship(order);
}Use `foreach (var item in items)`. Keep the index loop when the position itself matters.
Why an AI agent produces this
Agents default to the index-loop shape common across C-family languages, even when no index is needed.

Deterministic loop parse: flags zero-based `for` loops bounded by `.Length` or `.Count` and incremented by one, when the body uses the index only inside `[i]` subscripts.
Loops that use the index for anything else (arithmetic, output, passing it on), loops with other bounds or steps, and `foreach` loops are not flagged.
