See #27141 for details.

The analyzer should accept an assert "expression" (like an assert statement without a trailing ;) as an element in initializer lists.

To enable: add the flag enableAssertInitializer in the language section of the .analysis_options file. Here is an example:

analyzer:
  language:
    enableAssertInitializer: true

As an initial implementation, the analyzer can skip analyzing the assertion completely.

It would be great if it could also evaluate any assert in a const context (in an initializer of a const constructor which is used to create a compile-time constant value). This would enable earlier errors for the team that is experimenting with the feature.
