The bundler gives every file a `module` object, and the code Next.js adds for hot reloading uses it. If you declare a variable named `module`, it hides that object, which can break the build or hot reloading.

The rule reports `var`, `let`, `const` and `using` declarations of `module`, anywhere in the file. It doesn't report parameters, destructuring, or an assignment to the existing `module`.
