# Switch Case Termination JavaScript
# Detects switch cases that don't properly terminate
id: switch-case-termination-js
name: Switch Cases Should End With Terminating Statement
severity: error
category: reliability
defect_class: correctness
inline_tier: blocking
language: javascript

message: "Switch case should end with break, return, throw, or continue"

description: |
  Switch cases that fall through to the next case cause bugs.
  Each case should end with break, return, throw, or continue.
  If fall-through is intentional, add a // fallthrough comment.

  ✅ FIX: Add terminating statement

  ```javascript
  switch (x) {
      case 1:
          doSomething();
          break;  // GOOD
  }
  ```

        consequence: (statement_block

      (switch_case) @NEXT))

examples:

    switch (x) {

            doSomething();  // BAD - falls through

            break;
    }

  good: |
    switch (x) {
        case 1:
            return "one";  // GOOD - return terminates
        case 2:
