+Enforces that all Twig Component classes must be declared as `final`.
+This prevents inheritance and promotes composition via traits, ensuring better code maintainability and avoiding tight coupling between components.

 ### ClassNameShouldNotEndWithComponentRule
 
 Forbid Twig Component class names from ending with "Component" suffix, as it creates redundancy since the class is already identified as a component through the `#[AsTwigComponent]` attribute.

-### ForbiddenInheritanceRule
-
-Forbids the use of class inheritance in Twig Components. Composition via traits should be used instead.
-This promotes better code reusability and avoids tight coupling between components.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> Another alternative is to use [Class Variant Authority](https://symfony.com/bundles/ux-twig-component/current/index.html#component-with-complex-variants-cva) to create variations of a base component without inheritance or traits,
-> for example `<twig:Alert variant="success"></twig:Alert>` instead of `<twig:AlertSuccess></twig:AlertSuccess>`.
