Pull request overview
This PR closes the remaining feature gaps from #71 by adding user-configurable scanning behavior via a TOML config file, introducing SARIF output for Code Scanning integration, and expanding integration support via pre-commit hooks, while also reinstating CRITICAL severity handling across the reporting/exit-code pipeline.
Changes:
- Added
.keywatch.tomlsupport (custom rules, per-detector enable/disable + severity overrides, and config-driven exclude patterns). - Added
--formatwith SARIF 2.1.0 output generation alongside JSON. - Refactored hook install/uninstall into
src/hooks.rsand added pre-commit framework hook definitions.

src/report.rs:120
- SARIF
resultobjects requireruleId, but this struct currently serializesrule_id(snake_case), which breaks SARIF 2.1.0 schema expectations.
#[derive(Serialize)]
struct SarifResult {
rule_id: String,
level: &'static str,
message: SarifMessage,
src/report.rs:134
- SARIF location fields are currently serialized as
physical_location,artifact_location, andstart_line(snake_case). SARIF 2.1.0 expectsphysicalLocation,artifactLocation, andstartLine, so the report will not be schema-compliant.
#[derive(Serialize)]
struct SarifLocation {
physical_location: SarifPhysicalLocation,
}

This PR reinstates the CRITICAL severity level (also in PR #69, not yet in master) so users can flag high-value secrets (AWS root, GitHub PATs) above standard HIGH.
