no-whitespace-comment

Summary: Comment should start with whitespace

Category: Style

Automatically fixable: Yes

Avoid

package policy

import rego.v1

#Deny by default
default allow := false

#Allow only admins
allow if "admin" in input.user.roles

Prefer

package policy

import rego.v1

# Deny by default
default allow := false

# Allow only admins
allow if "admin" in input.user.roles

Rationale​

Comments should be preceded by a single space, as this makes them easier to read.
