Our latest release now has violations for the following methods:

- `ReadConstraint.Companion.inSmartMode(Project)`
- `ReadConstraint.Companion.withDocumentsCommitted(...)`

They are used via

```auto
constrainedReadAction(
    ReadConstraint.inSmartMode(project),
    ReadConstraint.withDocumentsCommitted(project),
) {..}

```

Are these false positives?  
I assumed the OverrideOnly applied to the instance methods of ReadConstraint and NOT the companion object

You are right, this must not trigger any warnings

FYI, there is already a ticket about that in youtrack: [MP-7233](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/MP-7233/ApiStatus.OverrideOnly-Do-not-highlight-static-methods)
