Research direction

Start by locating the select step and the code that parses or applies megate threshold rules. Check how matching is currently reported, then add a warning for rules that match no lines; the example contrasting 'bIR_' with 'bIR_.' defines the expected case.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Not sure if it's possible, but ideally we should have a warning in the select step if the user specifies an megate threshold rules that doesn't match anywhere.
E.g. it's a fairly easy mistake to write 'bIR_' instead of 'bIR_.', but the former won't match any line
