+#### sensitiveFileFalsePositives
+An array of file paths relative to your repository root that should be excluded from sensitive data checks.
+
+#### additionalRules
+An array of custom rules to add to your configuration. Rules can be specified in three ways:
+
+1. **Inline Rules**: Define the complete rule configuration directly in the config file
+2. **Local File References**: Reference a rule JSON file relative to your repository root using the `path` property
+3. **Remote Rules**: Reference a remote rule JSON file using the `url` property
+
+Each rule must follow the standard rule schema with:
+- `name`: Unique identifier for the rule
+- `conditions`: Rule conditions using facts and operators  
+- `event`: The event to trigger when conditions match
+
+#### additionalFacts
+An array of fact names to enable from installed plugins or custom implementations.
+
+#### additionalOperators
+An array of operator names to enable from installed plugins or custom implementations.
+
+#### additionalPlugins
+An array of plugin names to load. Plugins can provide additional facts, operators and rules.
+
+#### notifications
+Configure notification settings for analysis results:
+- `recipients` - Configure recipients for different notification channels
+- `codeOwners` - Enable/disable notifications to code owners (defaults to true)
+- `notifyOnSuccess` - Send notifications for successful checks
+- `notifyOnFailure` - Send notifications for failed checks
+- `customTemplates` - Custom notification message templates
