 # Changelog
 
+## 2.5.1
+
+### Changed: bump pinned @coana-tech/cli to 15.9.0
+
+- Bumped the pinned reachability engine (`@coana-tech/cli`) from `15.8.8` to
+  `15.9.0`. See the [Coana changelogs](https://docs.coana.tech/changelogs) for
+  engine changes.
+
+## 2.5.0
+
+### Added: `--base-scan-id` / `--base-commit-sha` diff baseline overrides
+
+- New mutually exclusive flags to control which full scan a diff is compared
+  against, instead of always using the repository's latest head scan:
+  - `--base-scan-id <id>` diffs against that full scan ID verbatim.
+  - `--base-commit-sha <sha>` diffs against the most recent full scan created
+    from that commit — e.g. the PR's merge base from
+    `git merge-base origin/main HEAD` — so PR diffs are not polluted by
+    default-branch commits the PR never branched from.
+- A `--base-commit-sha` with no matching full scan is a hard error (exit code 3,
+  or `--exit-code-on-api-error`; exit 0 with `--disable-blocking`) rather than a
+  silent fallback to the head scan, since diffing against the wrong baseline
+  misreports which alerts a PR introduces.
+- Both flags are also settable via `--config` files (`base_scan_id`,
+  `base_commit_sha`).
+- **Requirement:** `--base-commit-sha` looks up an existing scan — it does not
+  create one. Using it requires CI to run `socketcli` on every commit that lands
+  on the default branch; see the "Diffing against the merge base" note in
+  `docs/cli-reference.md` for the failure modes and a backfill pattern.

+### PR scan diffed against the merge base
+
+By default, PR scans are diffed against the repository's latest head scan. To diff against
+the exact commit your PR branched from instead, pass the merge base as the baseline:
+
+```bash
+BASE_SHA=$(git merge-base origin/main HEAD)
+socketcli --pr-number 123 --base-commit-sha "$BASE_SHA"
+```
+
+> **Requirement:** `--base-commit-sha` only works if Socket already has a full scan for that
+> exact commit. In practice this means your CI must run `socketcli` on **every commit that
+> lands on your default branch** — not just some of them. If merges can land without a scan
+> (skipped/canceled builds, `[skip ci]`, path-filtered pipelines), the PR scan will fail with
+> exit code 3 rather than silently diff against the wrong baseline. See
+> [`docs/cli-reference.md`](https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-python-cli/blob/main/docs/cli-reference.md)
+> for the full requirements and a backfill pattern that makes PR jobs self-sufficient.
+
+A specific full scan ID also works: `--base-scan-id <id>`.

+# CI/CD guide
+
+Use this guide for pipeline-focused CLI usage across platforms.
+
+## Recommended patterns
+
+### Dashboard-style reachable SARIF
+
+```bash
+socketcli \
+  --reach \
+  --sarif-file results.sarif \
+  --sarif-scope full \
+  --sarif-grouping alert \
+  --sarif-reachability reachable \
+  --disable-blocking
+```
+
+### Diff-based gating on new reachable findings
+
+```bash
+socketcli \
+  --reach \
+  --sarif-file results.sarif \
+  --sarif-scope diff \
+  --sarif-reachability reachable \
+  --strict-blocking
+```
+
+## Config file usage in CI
+
+Use `--config .socketcli.toml` or `--config .socketcli.json` to keep pipeline commands small.
+
+Precedence order:
+
+`CLI flags` > `environment variables` > `config file` > `built-in defaults`
+
+Example:
+
+```toml
+[socketcli]
+reach = true
+sarif_scope = "full"
+sarif_grouping = "alert"
+sarif_reachability = "reachable"
+sarif_file = "results.sarif"
+```
+
+Equivalent JSON:
+
+```json
+{
+  "socketcli": {
+    "reach": true,
+    "sarif_scope": "full",
+    "sarif_grouping": "alert",
+    "sarif_reachability": "reachable",
+    "sarif_file": "results.sarif"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Platform examples
+
+### GitHub Actions
+
+```yaml
+- name: Run Socket CLI
+  run: socketcli --config .socketcli.toml --target-path .
+  env:
+    SOCKET_SECURITY_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SOCKET_SECURITY_API_TOKEN }}
+```
+
+### Buildkite
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+  - label: "Socket scan"
+    command: "socketcli --config .socketcli.toml --target-path ."
+    env:
+      SOCKET_SECURITY_API_TOKEN: "${SOCKET_SECURITY_API_TOKEN}"
+```
+
+#### Merge-base baselines in Buildkite (dynamic pipelines)
+
+Notes for using `--base-commit-sha` (see the
+[merge-base note in the CLI reference](cli-reference.md#pull-request-and-commit))
+when your steps are emitted by a
+[dynamic pipeline](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/configure/dynamic-pipelines)
+generator rather than a static YAML file:
+
+- **Compute the merge base at generation time, not step time.** The generator runs
+  with a full checkout; step agents may have shallow or fresh clones where
+  `git merge-base` fails or needs an extra fetch. Resolve it once in the generator and
+  bake it into the emitted step's `env`. Diff against the PR's *target* branch, which
+  isn't always the default branch (see Buildkite's
+  [environment variables](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/configure/environment-variables)):
+
+  ```shell
+  TARGET="${BUILDKITE_PULL_REQUEST_BASE_BRANCH:-$BUILDKITE_PIPELINE_DEFAULT_BRANCH}"
+  BASE_SHA=$(git merge-base "origin/${TARGET}" HEAD)
+  ```
+
+- **Emit the backfill step conditionally from the generator.** The generator is the
+  natural place for the "does a baseline scan exist?" check
+  (`GET /orgs/{org}/full-scans?repo=<repo>&commit_hash=$BASE_SHA&per_page=1`): only
+  emit the baseline-scan step when it returns nothing. The emitted pipeline then shows
+  in the UI whether a backfill will run.
+
+- **Keep the backfill inside one command step.** The checkout-base → scan →
+  checkout-PR sequence must not be split across steps — steps can land on different
+  agents with different checkouts. Prefer
+  [`git worktree`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree) over mutating the step's
+  checkout: `git worktree add /tmp/socket-base "$BASE_SHA"` then
+  `socketcli --target-path /tmp/socket-base --branch "$TARGET" --disable-blocking`.
+
+- **Soft-fail infra errors, not findings.** A missing baseline (or any API error)
+  exits with code 3 (`--exit-code-on-api-error` to change it); real findings exit 1.
+  [`soft_fail: [{exit_status: 3}]`](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/configure/step-types/command-step)
+  on the PR scan step keeps infra errors from blocking merges while security findings
+  still do.
+
+- **["Cancel intermediate builds"](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/configure/canceling-builds#cancel-running-intermediate-builds)
+  on the default branch is the main source of baseline gaps.** Canceled builds never
+  scan their commit, so merge-base lookups for PRs based on those commits fail. The
+  conditional backfill step above is the remedy; there is no per-step exemption from
+  build cancellation in Buildkite. If you need strict scan-once semantics for
+  concurrent backfills of the same merge base, serialize the backfill step with a
+  [concurrency group](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/configure/workflows/controlling-concurrency)
+  keyed on the merge-base SHA.
+
+### GitLab CI
+
+```yaml
+socket_scan:
+  script:
+    - socketcli --config .socketcli.toml --target-path .
+  variables:
+    SOCKET_SECURITY_API_TOKEN: $SOCKET_SECURITY_API_TOKEN
+```
+
+### Bitbucket Pipelines
+
+```yaml
+pipelines:
+  default:
+    - step:
+        script:
+          - socketcli --config .socketcli.toml --target-path .
+```
+
+## Workflow templates
+
+Prebuilt examples in this repo:
+
+- [`../workflows/github-actions.yml`](../workflows/github-actions.yml)
+- [`../workflows/buildkite.yml`](../workflows/buildkite.yml)
+- [`../workflows/gitlab-ci.yml`](../workflows/gitlab-ci.yml)
+- [`../workflows/bitbucket-pipelines.yml`](../workflows/bitbucket-pipelines.yml)
+
+## CI gotchas
+
+- `--strict-blocking` enables strict diff behavior (`new + unchanged`) for blocking evaluation and diff-based output selection.
+- `--sarif-scope full` requires `--reach`.
+- `--sarif-grouping alert` currently applies to `--sarif-scope full`.
+- Diff-based SARIF can validly be empty when there are no matching net-new alerts.
+- Keep API tokens in secret stores (`SOCKET_SECURITY_API_TOKEN`), not in config files.
