From f7351e48e5d7aa9e1e8c9a1b6d64d766ba7d8569 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Weishuhn Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 10:08:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat: add watch one-shot mode and always-on lightweight security MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit `observatory watch ` runs a server, auto-diffs against the last run, and exits 1 on regression — replacing the manual run+diff workflow that accounts for 88% of usage. Continuous polling still available via --interval. Every run now includes a security-lite check (static rule matching on tool schemas, zero extra network calls). The --security flag remains for deep scanning with credential pattern analysis.
