1//! Scanner traits and configuration for the detection layer (L5).
2//!
3//! This module provides file-system oriented scanning interfaces:
4//! - `Scanner` trait for scanning files and directories
5//! - `ContentScanner` trait for content-based scanning
6//! - `ScannerConfig` for common scanner configuration

15/// Maximum size, in bytes, of a single file the scanner will read into memory.
16///
17/// cc-audit inspects untrusted third-party artifacts, so an attacker fully
18/// controls file sizes. Reading an arbitrarily large file unconditionally lets a
19/// single multi-GB file exhaust memory and OOM-kill the scan (a DoS that can
20/// fail the security gate open). Files above this cap are refused *before* any
21/// allocation. 10 MiB is far above any legitimate Claude Code artifact
22/// (skills, hooks, MCP configs, lockfiles) while bounding worst-case memory.
23///
24/// See issue #143 (CWE-400 Uncontrolled Resource Consumption, CWE-770
25/// Allocation of Resources Without Limits).

32/// oversized file never drives a large allocation. Returns
33/// [`AuditError::FileTooLarge`] for oversized files and [`AuditError::ReadError`]
34/// for genuine I/O errors. Bytes are lossy-decoded (invalid UTF-8 → replacement
35/// char) so a partially-binary file is still scanned rather than skipped (issue
