(4) Terminal-friendly output format: file:line - [severity] message. (5) Exit codes for CI/CD integration (0=pass, 1=fail). (6) Scope filtering (ui_patterns, behavior_patterns, ux_patterns, all). (7) Security hardening: path traversal protection, absolute path rejection, path canonicalization (SEC-001). (8) Complete TypedDict coverage (ConsistencyResultDict, CheckResultDict), input validation, error handling, and structured logging.
