  • [x] Include unstaged files in analysis, including respecting unstaged shac.star files
  • [x] Automatic fix application with handling for conflicting suggestions
  • [ ] Provide a .shac cache directory that checks can write to
  • [ ] Mount checkout directory read-only
    • [x] By default
    • [ ] Unconditionally
  • [ ] Give checks access to the commit message via ctx.scm
  • [ ] Built-in formatting of Starlark files
  • [ ] Configurable “pass-throughs” - non-default environment variables and mounts that can optionally be passed through to the sandbox
  • [ ] Add glob arguments to ctx.scm.{all,affected}_files() functions for easier filtering
  • [ ] Filesystem sandboxing on MacOS
  • [ ] Windows sandboxing
  • [ ] Testing framework for checks
