These are all great methods, and I believe they should be sufficient to show us where updates should be made.

please share any additional check discovery methods that you can think of.

I think finding real usage examples in large codebases will be helpful. This may guide us in identifying potential violations and areas that require to be covered by checks

One of the first steps is to find the JEPS and JLS for the new token.

Ensure document has number/letter points to be referenced later. Some linking to them would also be good.

Some checks will always be impacted. IllegalToken.
