Enable SwiftLint rule: contains_over_first_not_nil#25523
Conversation
Adds the rule to `only_rules` and rewrites the 13 existing violations:
- `xs.first(where: { ... }) != nil` → `xs.contains(where: { ... })`
- `xs.first { ... } == nil` patterns rewritten using the equivalent
`!contains` / `allSatisfy` form, depending on what reads cleanest.
The rewrite is type-preserving (Bool→Bool) — local build deferred to CI.
Part of the Orchard SwiftLint rollout campaign.

Pull request overview
Enables SwiftLint’s contains_over_first_not_nil opt-in rule and updates existing boolean checks to use contains(where:) (or equivalent !contains / allSatisfy) instead of first(where:) != nil / == nil, improving clarity and avoiding intermediate optional handling across the app and data layers.
Changes:
- Enabled the
contains_over_first_not_nilSwiftLint rule in.swiftlint.yml. - Replaced
first(where:) != nilpatterns withcontains(where:)across multiple UI and store files. - Rewrote inverted forms (
first(...) == nil) to!contains/allSatisfyin a few status-aggregation helpers.
