- Previously I thought that comments were fine to discourage people from
wasting their time trying to bump things that used `undef` that Sorbet
didn't support. But RuboCop is better at this since it'll complain if
the comments are unnecessary.
- Suggested in https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/18018#issuecomment-2283369501.
- I've gone for a mixture of `rubocop:disable` for the files that can't
be `typed: strict` (use of undef, required before everything else, etc)
and `rubocop:todo` for everything else that should be tried to make
strictly typed. There's no functional difference between the two as
`rubocop:todo` is `rubocop:disable` with a different name.
- And I entirely disabled the cop for the docs/ directory since
`typed: strict` isn't going to gain us anything for some Markdown
linting config files.
- This means that now it's easier to track what needs to be done rather
than relying on checklists of files in our big Sorbet issue:
```shell
$ git grep 'typed: true # rubocop:todo Sorbet/StrictSigil' | wc -l
268
```
- And this is confirmed working for new files:
```shell
$ git status
On branch use-rubocop-for-sorbet-strict-sigils
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
Library/Homebrew/bad.rb
Library/Homebrew/good.rb
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
$ brew style
Offenses:
bad.rb:1:1: C: Sorbet/StrictSigil: Sorbet sigil should be at least strict got true.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Currently, doing `brew install --only-dependencies` with an unlinked
formula does nothing and returns a message saying the formula is already
installed but just not linked.
I think that we should just install the dependencies as requested here
instead of complaining that the formula isn't linked.
Before:
❯ brew unlink adplug
Unlinking /usr/local/Cellar/adplug/2.3.3... 8 symlinks removed.
❯ brew install --only-dependencies adplug
Warning: adplug 2.3.3 is already installed, it's just not linked.
To link this version, run:
brew link adplug
After:
❯ brew install --only-dependencies adplug
==> Fetching dependencies for adplug: libbinio
==> Fetching libbinio
==> Downloading https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/libbinio/manifests/1.5

See Homebrew/homebrew-core#127133 for additional context.
Allows you to avoid the `Keg::ConflictError` recommending that you invoke `brew link --overwrite` in scenarios when you know that that's how you'd proceed anyway.
There's a few bits of functionality that Homebrew has changed over the
years, makes sense as a sensible default but some people find really
annoying:
- automatically running `brew update`
- automatically running `brew cleanup`
- automatically upgrading outdated dependents
- automatically reinstalling broken dependents
For each of these: let's improve the documentation of the commands
whose behaviour is changed and the environment variables themselves.
