Avoid Mutually Exclusive Tags

Some tags are mutually exclusive by nature — they represent states or configurations that cannot coexist. For example, @mobile and @desktop, or @en and @fr.

AvoidMutuallyExclusiveTags warns you when tags from the same mutually exclusive group appear together across a feature, scenario, or examples block.

Configuration

AvoidMutuallyExclusiveTags:
  Enabled: true
  TagGroups:
    - - mobile
      - desktop
    - - en
      - fr
      - de

Each entry in TagGroups is a list of tags that are mutually exclusive with each other. Any two or more tags from the same group appearing together will raise an issue.
