tolowerequalfoldwas flagging comparisons where one side isstrings.ToLower/ToUpperand the other is the same operand, e.g.strings.ToLower(x) != x. Those are case-detection checks, not case-insensitive equality checks, and rewriting tostrings.EqualFoldcan produce incorrect logic.Analyzer precision: self-comparison guard
