Warns when a constructor has an unnecessary super invocation or when an invocation has an unnecessary super prefix.

Example​

❌ Bad:

class Base {
  int get x => 1;
}

class Subclass extends Base {
  const Subclass() : super(); // LINT: This 'super' invocation is unnecessary. Try removing it.

  int get y => super.x; // LINT: This 'super' prefix is unnecessary. Try removing it.
}

✅ Good:

class Subclass extends Base {
  const Subclass();

  @override
  int get x => 2;

  int get y => super.x; // Correct, 'x' is overridden
}
