Research direction
Review the Rust API guideline about non empty Debug representation. Look at existing clippy lint implementations (e.g., under clippy lints/src/) for patterns. The issue lacks specific implementation details; consider examining the discussion in the issue comments for any additional context. Check if there are any linked PRs or references to other lints that implement similar guidelines.
