 		Hook names and global variables are excluded:
-		- Hook names: WordPress core hooks (the_content, gallery_style, etc.) cannot be
-		  renamed. We hook into them via add_filter/apply_filters — not defining new ones.
-		- Global variables: WordPress core globals ($post, $wpdb, $wp_query) are accessed
-		  with the global keyword inside methods. The rule cannot distinguish accessing an
-		  existing global from declaring a new one.
+		- Hook names: WordPress core hooks cannot be renamed; hooking into them via
