'CoroutineContext' can contain 'Job' element

Reports coroutine builders calls that violate structured concurrency by accepting a CoroutineContext containing a Job.

Passing contexts with a Job to coroutine builders like launch, async, produce, promise, or to withContext breaks the parent-child relationship between coroutines, defeating the purpose of structured concurrency.

Example:

coroutineScope.launch(Job()) {
  // this coroutine does not have parent relationship with the `coroutineScope` receiver 
}
