A project with ChangeNotifier classes but no provider declarations printed:
provider rules examined 10 ChangeNotifier class(es) (0 consumed by a
Consumer/Selector), and 36 observable mutator(s) were checked for a notify
path. Provider declarations by type: .
That trailing "Provider declarations by type: ." is a dangling colon and full
stop. It reads as a truncated sentence rather than as "this app declares none",
which is how it surfaced on word_alive. The clause is now omitted when the list
is empty, and still lists kinds most-common-first when it is not.
Found by reading an external auditor's raw tool output after its run died on an
API rate limit before it could write a report - its observations were still
worth salvaging even though it never reached a conclusion.
The note is extracted into providerRuleNote() so both branches are directly
testable; before this the empty case was only reachable through a real project.
