-| `--config` | string | | Path to a YAML or JSON configuration file. |
-| `--log-level` | string | `info` | Logging level: `trace`, `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`, `fatal`, or `none`. |
-| `--stdout-format` | string | `yaml` | `yaml`, `json`, or `sarif` output on stdout. |
-| `--report-path` | string slice | | Write findings to one or more files; format is inferred from the extension. |
-| `--ignore-on-exit` | enum | `none` | Control exit codes: `all`, `results`, `errors`, or `none`. |
-| `--max-target-megabytes` | int | `0` | Skip files larger than the threshold (0 disables the check). |
-| `--validate` | bool | `false` | Enrich results by verifying secrets when supported. |
