message: "default clause should be the last case"

description: |
  The default clause should always be the last case in a switch.
  Having it before other cases is confusing and may cause bugs.

  ✅ FIX: Move default to the end

  ```typescript
  switch (x) {
      case 1: ...
      default: ...  // GOOD - last
  }
  ```

query: |
  (switch_statement
    body: (switch_body
      (switch_default) @DEFAULT
      (switch_case) @AFTER_CASE))

metavars:
  - DEFAULT
  - AFTER_CASE

examples:
  bad: |
    switch (x) {
        default: ...  // BAD - not last
        case 1: ...
    }

  good: |
    switch (x) {
        case 1: ...
        default: ...  // GOOD - last
    }
