What it does

Currently, normal if clauses work as intended:

unnecessary parentheses around if condition: remove these parentheses

if (authorization.chars().count() < 100) {
        /*authorization must be at least 100 characters long*/
        return None;
    }

However, when the if clause is negated, it doesn't get recognized.
I'd suggest adding a linter for negated if clauses as well.

Advantage

• Increase consistency between linter hints
• Readability

Drawbacks

No response

Example

if !(authorization.starts_with("ey")) {
        /*authorization must start with ey*/
        return None;
    }

Could be written as:

if !authorization.starts_with("ey") {
        /*authorization must start with ey*/
        return None;
    }
