🚀 New and noteworthy

🌟 New and changed rules

New Rules

• The new Apex rule {% rule apex/bestpractices/QueueableWithoutFinalizer %} detects when the Queueable interface is used but a Finalizer is not attached. Without attaching a Finalizer, there is no way of designing error recovery actions should the Queueable action fail.
