It runs via npx with no install, produces a single offline-capable HTML file with pass/fail banners, severity stat tiles, per-issue rows with file and line references, and client-side filtering. It also supports a --sarif mode for GitHub code scanning integration. Optional features include a compliance scoreboard when totals data is supplied and trend views across multiple dated runs, turning API governance from a list of violations into a progress report. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
