Do not suppress NullAway errors without a justification.
Prefer rearranging the code to avoid the error, unless there is a provable performance penalty or a significant loss of code readability.
Use `Objects.requireNonNull` statement or `Preconditions` rather than `assert` or `@SuppressWarning` annotation to suppress if possible.

For gradual adoption, enable checks project-by-project.

  - Fixing a bug without changing a public API.
  - Fixing or improving documentation.
  - Improvements to Maven configuration.

Guidelines for any code contributions:

1.  Any significant changes should be accompanied by tests. The project already
    has good test coverage, so look at some existing tests if you're unsure how
    to go about it.

  // From RFC 3720, Section 12.1, the polynomial generator is 0x11EDC6F41.
  // We calculate the constant below by:
  //   1. Omitting the most significant bit (because it's always 1). => 0x1EDC6F41
  //   2. Flipping the bits of the constant so we can process a byte at a time. => 0x82F63B78

We may ask you to answer these questions directly in the GitHub issue or (for large changes) in a shared Google Doc.

Please note that some features may be out of the team's current focus, and it can take significant time for the team to review the PR thoroughly and address it fully.
