At a high level, the steps involved in adding a new lint rule are as follows:
1. Create a file for your rule (e.g., `crates/ruff/src/rules/flake8_bugbear/rules/abstract_base_class.rs`).
2. In that file, define a violation struct. You can grep for `define_violation!` to see examples.
3. Map the violation struct to a rule code in `crates/ruff/src/registry.rs` (e.g., `E402`).
4. Define the logic for triggering the violation in `crates/ruff/src/checkers/ast.rs` (for AST-based

checks), `crates/ruff/src/checkers/tokens.rs` (for token-based checks), `crates/ruff/src/checkers/lines.rs`

checks).

Finally, regenerate the documentation and generated code with `cargo dev generate-all`.
#### Rule naming convention
The rule name should make sense when read as "allow *rule-name*" or "allow *rule-name* items".
This implies that rule names:
* should state the bad thing being checked for
* should not contain instructions on what you what you should use instead
(these belong in the rule documentation and the `autofix_title` for rules that have autofix)
### Example: Adding a new configuration option
Ruff's user-facing settings live in a few different places.
