PenstockGuide / Every rule
Two variables look like one
The check flow/lookalike, in the group Process flow.
Why it matters
Two variable names that differ by a letter or its case are usually one name spelled twice, and one of them never holds the value the other does.
How to fix it
Use one spelling everywhere, or make the names differ clearly.
Where you see it
The Problems tab lists it under How it runs and outlines the path that leads there. In a terminal, penstock check --only flow reports it as LOOKALIKE. This check is part of Penstock Pro, and Team in a pipeline.
