Kotlin on Code Quality Tools

" summary

Compares Android Lint, Detekt and ktlint with concrete tradeoffs: ktlint autoformats via -F and editorconfig and is fastest; Detekt runs YAML-configured static checks, reports in Checkstyle/XML/HTML and estimates fix time but has no autoapply; Android Lint supports type resolution, IDE quickfixes and a Gradle lintfix task, is slower but more powerful and supports baselines via a baseline file. Shows building a no-internal-import rule for each tool, how rules register (service/issue registry/UAST visitors), and how to run them in CI.
