Release Notes - v0.6.5 (Hotfix)
Release Date: October 11, 2025

Technical Details
- Fixed nil pointer dereference in PCI Requirement 1.2.1 (Network Segmentation)
- Fixed nil pointer dereference in PCI Requirement 2.2.2 (Default Configurations)
- Improved error messages to indicate missing permissions
- Removed hardcoded development paths from source files
