Struct ScanConfig 

pub struct ScanConfig {
    pub exclude_paths: Vec<String>,
    pub max_file_size_kb: u64,
    pub exclude_submodules: bool,
    pub local_packages: Vec<String>,
    pub auto_scan_limit: usize,
    pub additional_denylist_paths: Vec<String>,
}

Configuration for the scanning pipeline.

Fields

exclude_paths: Vec<String>

Glob patterns (relative to project root) to exclude from all discovery flows — source files, documentation ingestion, and any future filesystem walks.

Examples:

[scan]
exclude_paths = [".opencode/**", "_bmad/**", "logs/**", "*.log"]

The old name exclude_patterns is accepted as a TOML alias for backwards compatibility.

max_file_size_kb: u64

Maximum file size in kilobytes. Files larger than this are skipped.

exclude_submodules: bool

Whether to exclude separate submodule scans. Defaults to false — submodules are scanned into their own DBs by default. Root discovery always excludes submodule dirs (they get their own DBs); this flag controls whether separate submodule scans happen at all.

local_packages: Vec<String>

Top-level package names that belong to this project and should not be treated as external dependencies.

Useful for monorepos or projects where internal packages are imported without a relative-path prefix (common in Python). For example, if from myawesomeapp.web import app and myawesomeapp is a local package, add "myawesomeapp" here so it is excluded from the external-dependency list.

Applies to all languages, though it is most relevant for Python where internal and external imports are syntactically identical.

Example:

[scan]
local_packages = ["myawesomeapp", "shared", "worker"]

auto_scan_limit: usize

Maximum number of files allowed for auto-scan on seshat serve. Projects exceeding this limit will not be auto-scanned; the user must run seshat scan explicitly.

additional_denylist_paths: Vec<String>

Additional absolute paths that seshat serve should treat as dangerous when deciding whether to auto-scan from a non-git cwd.

Each entry matches when the cwd equals the entry or is a descendant of it (component-wise prefix). Absolute paths only — tilde (~) and environment variables are not expanded. Relative entries are skipped at runtime with a warn-level log.

Example:

[scan]
additional_denylist_paths = ["/mnt/nfs", "/Volumes/BackupDrive"]
