 This rule prevents usage of any `tabindex` values other than `0` and `-1`. It does allow for dynamic values (choosing which value to show based on some condition / helper / etc), but only if that inline `if` condition has static `0`/`-1` as the value.
 
+In `.gts` files linted with type information (`parserOptions.project` or `parserOptions.projectService`), dynamic values such as `this.tabIndex`, `@tabIndex` or an in-scope variable are also allowed when their TypeScript type only contains numeric literals `<= 0` (and optionally `null`/`undefined`), e.g. `0 | -1`. Types like `number` are still reported, since they can't be proven safe.

 This rule takes no arguments.
