docs: document safety, lint and policy rules for check - #1595
Adds catalogs for safety, lint and policy rules observed from altimate-core 0.9.0, with triggering examples and severities. Links the catalogs from Available Checks and corrects the SELECT * example to L001 / select_star.
How did you verify your code works?
From docs/: mkdocs build --site-dir /tmp/altimate-docs-site passes with no new diagnostics against the base.
Ran all 55 safety/lint examples and 11 policy examples through the CLI. Every documented rule and severity matched.
Add Safety, Lint and Policy rule tables to the check docs, linked from the
Available Checks table. Every rule was observed from the real check CLI
against altimate-core 0.9.0; none is invented. Fix the JSON/text examples,
which showed `L003` (missing_where_delete) for a SELECT * finding.
FixesAltimateAI#1125
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The check guide now includes a catalog of safety, lint, and policy rules. It also links to the catalog and updates the JSON and text finding examples.

Summary
Rule catalog and finding examples docs/docs/usage/check.md
Adds safety and lint rule descriptions and examples, policy configuration details, and notes about catalog coverage and engine errors. Links the available-check entries to the catalog and updates the JSON and text examples to show the select_star rule.
Readers can copy policy examples that do not enforce the intended checks. Replace or clearly label those examples before merging, and reconcile the lint finding guidance.

The description follows the required template, identifies the issue, marks the change as documentation, explains the changes, reports verification steps, documents that there are no cost side effects, and completes the checklist.

Explanation
The changed content is limited to docs/docs/usage/check.md. It adds rule-catalog sections, links the catalog from the Available Checks table, updates finding examples, and documents rule and severity behavior. These changes directly support issue #1125. No unrelated change is established.

Explanation
Issue #1125 requires a catalog of every engine-emitted safety rule, every built-in lint rule, and every built-in policy check. The PR adds names, descriptions, examples, severities, policy configuration keys, and links from the Available Checks table. However, the catalog states that it contains rules observed from a probe corpus and that the engine may emit rules not listed. This does not establish the required complete inventory. The PR also does not provide engine-metadata generation or evidence that the curated list is exhaustive for the pinned 0.9.0 engine.
Resolution
Make the catalog exhaustive for the pinned @altimateai/altimate-core 0.9.0 version, or add a metadata-based generation process that proves completeness. Include every emitted safety rule, built-in lint rule, and built-in policy check with its required description and example. Keep the catalog update process tied to each engine version bump.

Lint findings carry both a `code` and a `rule`. Almost every `SELECT` without a `LIMIT` also reports `L030`, so the examples below list only the rule they demonstrate.

Reconcile the lint finding contract.
The earlier guidance says lint findings may omit both rule and code, but this line says they always carry both fields. State that both fields are normally present but optional, or update the earlier guidance. Inconsistent documentation can cause JSON consumers to mishandle valid findings.

Policy findings are named after the built-in check that fired. Each check is switched on by a key in the `--policy` JSON file. In this engine version the `rules` / `pattern` entries shown under [Policy File Format](#policy-file-format) produced no findings in testing; use the keys below.

Replace or label the legacy policy examples.
The CLI passes the policy JSON unchanged to @altimateai/altimate-core@0.9.0. The rules/pattern examples can therefore run without enforcing no-drop-table or require-limit.
Use cost_control.require_limit for require-limit. Do not use query_patterns.allowed_statements: ["SELECT"] as a replacement for no-drop-table; it also rejects every non-SELECT statement. Mark no-drop-table unsupported unless the engine provides an exact supported setting.
