//! Malicious-URL scanner.
//!
//! Inspects every HTTP/HTTPS URL embedded in skill content and flags
//! categories of URLs that are commonly abused in supply-chain attacks
//! against agentic skills:
//!
//! | ID | Sev | What it checks |
//! |----|-----|----------------|
//! | `url/U1-shortener`     | Warning | URL shortener (`bit.ly`, `t.co`, `tinyurl.com`, …) — destination is opaque |
//! | `url/U2-paste`         | Error   | Paste / transfer site (`pastebin.com`, `transfer.sh`, `0x0.st`, …) |
//! | `url/U3-ip-literal`    | Warning | Raw IPv4/IPv6 literal instead of a hostname |
//! | `url/U4-suspicious-tld`| Warning | High-abuse TLD (`.tk`, `.top`, `.xyz`, `.gq`, `.ml`, `.cf`) |
//! | `url/U5-non-https`     | Warning | `http://` URL — insecure transport |
//!
//! # Scanned file types
//!
//! `*.md`, `*.markdown`, `*.sh`, `*.bash`, `*.zsh`. Markdown is included
//! because most skills embed install/fetch URLs in fenced code blocks or
//! prose.
//!
//! # Allowlist integration
//!
//! When a URL's hostname matches an entry in
//! [`Config::allowlist.domains`](crate::config::AllowlistConfig::domains)
//! (exact match or `*.<entry>` suffix), every `url/*` finding for that URL
//! is suppressed. This mirrors the behaviour of `bash/CAT-H1` so users do
//! not have to manage a second allowlist.
//!
//! # Suppression
//!
//! Inline `# scan:ignore` comments and `.oxidized-agentic-audit-ignore`
//! entries are honoured exactly as in the other scanners.
