A parse error in a contract annotation now names the contract kind, the annotation, and the method, via a new helper parseErrorInContext that is shared with sideEffectsOnlyParseError, instead of prepending an ad-hoc string to a bare flowexpr.parse.error message.

Until now, a @SideEffectsOnly annotation was trusted at call sites and only its syntax was checked. The new DisallowedSideEffects scanner verifies a method body -- and a lambda body, against the annotation on the functional interface method -- reporting every side effect that the annotation does not permit. Body checking happens only under -AcheckPurityAnnotations. The new field BaseTypeVisitor.checkPurityAnnotationsOption distinguishes that option from checkPurityAnnotations, which -AsuggestPureMethods and -Ainfer also imply.

SideEffectsOnlyDiagnostics so it clearly states that Main.java analyzes each
call site in this file, removing the malformed wording while preserving the
surrounding documentation.
In `@checker/tests/sideeffectsonly/AnnotationInBody.java`:
- Line 33: Update the annotation in the test around Marker("x") to use a
TYPE_USE-only marker on String, ensuring the case exercises type-use annotation
behavior rather than the local-variable declaration target.
In
`@framework/src/main/java/org/checkerframework/common/basetype/DisallowedSideEffects.java`:
- Around line 452-454: Update the comment immediately above the
Collections.emptyList() return in DisallowedSideEffects to state that the empty
list optimistically assumes no side effects, while soundness is preserved
because purity.unparseable.sideeffectsonly is reported above.
In
`@framework/src/main/java/org/checkerframework/common/basetype/messages.properties`:
- Line 87: Correct the argument ordering for purity.unparseable.sideeffectsonly
by aligning its placeholders with the existing call sites in
DisallowedSideEffects: the method description is passed first and exprString
second, so make the message render the method argument as the expression text
only if adjusting callers instead, swap all three call-site arguments
consistently. Preserve the intended output of showing the parsed expression
first and the invoked method second.
