New Limit Flags
--max-findings: Caps the total number of findings across the entire scan. When the limit is reached, the scan stops early and reports results up to that limit. Set to 0 (default) to disable.
--max-rule-matches-per-fragment: Limits the number of regex matches per rule per fragment (e.g., file, chunked file, page). Useful for preventing excessive matches in large files. Set to 0 (default) to disable.
--max-secret-size: Ignores secrets larger than the specified size in bytes. Helps filter out false positives from large binary blobs or encoded content. Set to 0 (default) to disable.
Bug Fix
Fixed last-line detection: Secrets on the last line of files without a trailing newline are now correctly detected. The fix adds a virtual newline marker in the location calculation logic, removing the previous CxFileEndMarker workaround.
