Observer v0.2.0

The headline: every finding now ships with a concrete before→after fix, and Observer's
offline promise is now enforceable. Plus broader language coverage and optional engine
integrations. Still a single, self-contained binary — no runtime, no account, no telemetry.

✨ Highlights

  • Finds and shows the fix. Every finding in the HTML report now includes a collapsible
    "Suggested fix" with a before→after code example — no --ai and no API key required.
    It's deterministic, offline guidance about the issue class (it never fabricates specifics).
  • --assert-offline — a guaranteed air-gapped mode. Refuses any network-touching flag
    (--cve/--email/--slack/--teams/--webhook) and forces the AI layer to its local
    heuristic, printing Offline mode: no network I/O. Ideal for finance/health/gov or auditing
    a client's code under NDA — the code stays on the machine, and you can evidence it.
  • Multi-language static rules — native security rules for PHP, JS/TS, Python, Java, and
    Ruby
    (secrets, injection, XSS, command exec, insecure deserialization, weak crypto,
    dangerous config), each tagged CWE/OWASP.
  • Optional engine wrappers — auto-detects Semgrep, PHPStan, Bandit, and gosec if
    present and folds their findings into the same report. Absent? They're silently skipped;
    the single-binary, offline promise holds.

🛠 Improvements & fixes

  • Fewer false positives: matching is now trailing-comment aware, so trigger words inside
    comments no longer flag.
  • Expanded remediation coverage (incl. CSRF and empty-encryption-key classes).
  • Report polish and score/CWE/OWASP mapping refinements.
