Why: Hyperscan doesn’t support lookaheads/behinds, so many “must contain X and Y” checks had to be baked into the regex (hurting readability) or were impossible. pattern_requirements applies lightweight, in-memory checks after a match is found, keeping patterns fast and clean.
- Created Linux and Windows specific installer script
- Updated diff-focused scanning so --branch-root-commit can be provided alongside --branch, letting you diff from a chosen commit while targeting a specific branch tip (still defaulting back to the --branch ref when the commit is omitted).

- Condensed GitError formatting to report the exit status and the first informative lines from stdout/stderr, producing concise git clone failure logs.
- Added support for scanning Google Cloud Storage buckets via --gcs-bucket, including optional prefixes and service-account authentication.
- Added --skip-aws-account (now accepting comma-separated values) and --skip-aws-account-file to bypass live AWS validation for known canary/honey-token account IDs without triggering alerts. Kingfisher now ships with several canary AWS account IDs pre-seeded in the skip list and now reports matching findings as "Not Attempted" with the "Response" containing "(skip list entry)" so its clear that validation was intentionally skipped and why.
- Added: repeatable --ignore-comment <TOKEN> flag to reuse inline directives from other scanners (for example NOSONAR,
kics-scan ignore, gitleaks:allow, etc)
- Added: to reuse existing inline directives from other scanners, pass --compat-ignore-comments to also accept NOSONAR, kics-scan ignore, gitleaks:allow and trufflehog:ignore
