+
+## Notes
+
+-   Return annotations may start with `returns`, `throws`, or `=>`. `returns` follow variable declarations or assignment expressions, whereas `=>` follow expression-only forms including `console.log` calls.
+-   The rule validates `@example` blocks in TSDoc comments within `*.d.ts` files by resolving the corresponding implementation via the nearest `package.json` file in the same or a parent directory and using its `main` field.
+-   The rule skips validation if the `package.json` file cannot be found or if the resolved implementation cannot be loaded.
+-   Examples are executed in a sandboxed VM context with limited globals for security.
+-   This rule is specifically designed for TypeScript declaration files and will only process files with a `*.d.ts` filename extension.
