Description

New Issue Checklist
Feature or Enhancement Proposal

As with other linter baseline implementations, a fix to a violation that was previously baselined should cause a lint failure that encourages the user to update the baseline. For backwards compatibility, this should probably be a flag, e.g. --strict-baseline or something (feel free to bikeshed).

Research direction

Start with SwiftLint's existing baseline implementation and compare how other linters handle fixes to baselined violations. Define the backward-compatible strict-baseline flag behavior; done means a fixed baselined violation fails linting and tells users to update the baseline.
