monochromatic-git-policy-cli 0.5.33

//! What:
//!  The optional `security/forbidden-strings` policy:
//!  scan every candidate's exact
//!       bytes and pathname through the linked scanner and report each match,
//!  redacted.
//! Why:
//!  The installed wrapper wrote candidate bytes to temporary files,
//!  started the
//!      scanner executable and parsed its standard error.
//!  Here the same scanner is a
//!      library:
//!  rules are loaded once per invocation,
//!  only when a candidate can be
//!      scanned,
//!  and each finding carries the scanner's masked display path and an
//!      opaque rule name,
//!  never the matched text.
//!  A scan that could not complete ends
//!      the policy with the code of its cause,
//!  never as a clean result.
//!
//! In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
//! ```ts
//! // const findings = await scanCandidates({ builtinRules, repositoryRoot, candidates });
//! ```
