Security
a read-only scanner for local dev environments; pipeline security is downstream, but the developer is patient zero.

If the tool produces too many false positives locally, would a developer simply ignore the warnings to stay productive? That might create a false sense of security where pipeline alerts are treated as anomalies rather than systemic issues.

The read-only claim is interesting, but it is unclear how this actually prevents the patient zero scenario. If it is just scanning and not intercepting, the vulnerability is still executed before the developer sees the alert.

That is true... but with the rise of autonomous AI agents writing to our local disks... the risk isn't just a human mistake anymore... it is a machine acting faster than we can read a report!

The logic holds. Pipeline checks are too late when a developer's local environment is used to exfiltrate AWS keys via a pre-install script.
