message: "Function should be declared noexcept"

description: |
  Functions that don't throw exceptions should be marked noexcept.
  This enables compiler optimizations and better error handling.
  This is a MISRA C++ 2023 rule.

  ✅ FIX: Add noexcept specifier

  ```cpp
  int add(int a, int b) noexcept {  // GOOD - noexcept
      return a + b;
  }
  ```
