# DISABLED (#PR-319): gorm-unbounded-preload too imprecise for ast-grep
#
# Original rule from RealHarshThakur/ast-grep-go attempted to detect
# unbounded GORM Preload calls. The pattern is "any call_expression
# containing a Preload that's NOT containing a func_literal" — but
# func_literal is GORM's idiomatic scoping callback, not the only way
# to scope a query.
#
# The rule fires on `db.Preload("X").Where(...).Find(&users)` even
# though `.Where(...)` is the proper scoping — only the func_literal
# form is excluded. Real production code uses `.Where()` far more often
# than scoping callbacks.
#
# Net result: rule fires on most production GORM code that uses Preload,
# which is the OPPOSITE of the intent.

  Disabled: too imprecise — fires on `db.Preload().Where().Find()`
