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).
- Updated the README so every provider example (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure Repos, Gitea, Hugging Face, Slack, Jira, Confluence, S3, GCS, Docker) uses the new subcommand style.
- Restored the direct kingfisher scan /path/to/dir flow for local filesystem scans while adding a --list-only switch to each provider subcommand so repository enumeration no longer requires the standalone github repos, gitlab repos, etc. commands.
- Removed the legacy top-level provider commands (kingfisher github, kingfisher gitlab, kingfisher gitea, kingfisher bitbucket, kingfisher azure, kingfisher huggingface) now that enumeration lives under kingfisher scan <provider> --list-only.
- Fixed kingfisher scan github … (and other provider-specific subcommands) so they no longer demand placeholder path arguments before the CLI accepts the request.
- Removed the --bitbucket-username, --bitbucket-token, and --bitbucket-oauth-token flags in favour of KF_BITBUCKET_* environment variables when authenticating to Bitbucket.
- Added rules for sendbird, mattermost, langchain, notion
- JWT validation hardened to reject alg:none by default (only allowed if explicitly configured), require iss for OIDC/JWKS verification, ensuring Active Credential means cryptographically verified and time-valid, not just unexpired
- Updated the Git cloning logic to include all refs and minimize clone output, allowing Kingfisher to analyze pull request and deleted branch history
