cli start scan

CodeAnt-AI Description

Start a repository scan from the CLI

What Changed

• Adds a new scans start-scan command to trigger a fresh analysis run from the terminal
• When repo, branch, or commit are not provided, the command now tries to detect them from the current git context
• Supports optional include and exclude file patterns so users can narrow what gets scanned
• Shows clear errors when the repo, branch, commit, or scan request cannot be resolved
• Documents the new command and examples in the CLI guide

Impact

✅ Faster scan starts from the terminal
✅ Fewer manual repo and commit lookups
✅ More targeted scans with path filters
