/**
 * Validate artifact IDs in rules against the artifacts of every available
 * schema. The `rules:` map is global, but each change can use a different
 * schema, so a key is only unknown when it matches no artifact in ANY schema.
 * Returns warnings for keys that are unknown everywhere.
 *
 * @param rules - The rules object from config
 * @param validArtifactIds - Set of valid artifact IDs across all schemas
