Kingfisher v2.8.0

[v2.8.0]

• Behavior change: --since-commit now scans full commit ranges by default, catching secrets later deleted. Use --git-history none for net-diff scanning. #518
• Added Git author name and email alongside committer information in finding metadata. #519
• Improved --branch scan performance by avoiding per-commit Git index setup.
• Branch-only remote scans now fetch just the selected branch and keep branch-specific clones separate from full-repository clones. #514
• Added the optional native wizard (gui) for configuring scans, tracking progress, and inspecting JSON/JSONL or SARIF reports with filters, exports, and Git provenance.
• Added independent report tabs and native Kingfisher desktop icons for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
• Improved wizard readability with comma-separated counts, compact column controls, clickable commit links, and a Local Web Viewer action that preserves imported reports.
• Library behavior changes: ScannerConfig::enable_dedup now defaults to false (previously true). Opt-in deduplication keys on both blob ID and source path, preserving identical content at different paths. Betterleaks filter evaluation errors now fail the scan call instead of silently keeping the finding.
• Stabilized the 1.0.0 embedding APIs for kingfisher-core, kingfisher-rules, and kingfisher-scanner, with runnable examples and version-aware crates.io publishing for all crates, including kingfisher-bin.
• Switched to the published kingfisher-vectorscan crate and its checksum-verified prebuilt archives, removing the local Vectorscan CMake build on supported targets. Windows builds use GNU/LLVM MinGW; MSVC is unsupported.
• Replaced the temporary MongoDB driver Git pin with crates.io 3.8.0, retaining SRV validation and the Hickory 0.26 DNS fix.
• Fixed scan-time validation requests to send a User-Agent, preventing services such as GitHub from rejecting them. Thanks @wingc-canva. #512
