ScannerConfig: The Rider for our Rock Star Scanner

This is the list of demands for our scanner. “Don’t show me hidden files,” “I only want to see files bigger than a tour bus,” “Ignore the messy backstage area (.gitignore).” We build this from the user’s command-line arguments to make sure the scanner puts on the exact show the user wants to see.

Fields

max_depth: usize

Maximum depth to traverse into subdirectories.

follow_symlinks: bool

Should symbolic links be followed? (Currently always false).

respect_gitignore: bool

Should .gitignore files be respected?

show_hidden: bool

Should hidden files (starting with .) be shown?

show_ignored: bool

Should ignored files/directories be shown (usually in brackets)?

find_pattern: Option<Regex>

An optional regex pattern to filter files/directories by name.

file_type_filter: Option<String>

An optional file extension to filter by (e.g., “rs”).

entry_type_filter: Option<String>

Optional entry type filter (“f” for files, “d” for directories).

min_size: Option<u64>

Optional minimum file size filter.

max_size: Option<u64>

Optional maximum file size filter.

newer_than: Option<SystemTime>

Optional filter for files newer than a specific date.

older_than: Option<SystemTime>

Optional filter for files older than a specific date.

use_default_ignores: bool

Should the scanner use its built-in list of default ignore patterns (like node_modules, __pycache__, target/)?

search_keyword: Option<String>

An optional keyword to search for within file contents.

show_filesystems: bool

Should filesystem type indicators be shown?

sort_field: Option<String>

Sort field for results (name, size, date, type)

top_n: Option<usize>

Limit results to top N entries (useful with sort)

include_line_content: bool

Include actual line content in search results (for AI/MCP use)

compute_interest: bool

Compute interest scores for each node (default: true when smart mode is enabled)

security_scan: bool

Perform security scanning during traversal (default: true)

min_interest: f32

Minimum interest score to include in results (0.0-1.0, default: 0.0)

track_traversal: bool

Track how we reached each location (symlink, mount, etc.)

changes_only: bool

Only show changes since last scan

compare_state: Option<PathBuf>

Path to previous state file for comparison (or auto-detect from ~/.st/scan_states/)

smart_mode: bool

Enable smart mode - groups by interest, shows changes, minimal output

Trait Implementations

fn clone(&self) -> ScannerConfig

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Default for ScannerConfig

fn default() -> ScannerConfig

Returns the “default value” for a type.
