Detail runs scans on a nightly schedule by default, so your bug findings stay fresh without any manual effort. You can also trigger on-demand scans at any time from the dashboard and configure exactly what each scan covers — whether that’s a full repository scan or a focused look at recent changes.

​
Scan types

Full Repo

A full repository scan against the latest commit on your primary branch. This is the standard scan type used for nightly runs.

Recent Changes

Scans only code introduced since a specific date or by specific authors. Faster than a full scan and useful for reviewing work in progress before merging.

​
Scan schedule

Recurring scans run automatically — no configuration required. Detail picks up the latest commit on your primary branch each week and runs a Recent Changes scan. Detail also runs a Full Repo scan every month. Results appear in the dashboard as soon as the scan completes.

​
Triggering an on-demand scan

You can kick off a scan at any time without waiting for the recurring schedule. From the dashboard:
  1. Go to Scans and find the repository you want to scan.
  2. Click Schedule New Scan and follow the flow to select a repo.
  3. The scan starts immediately. You’ll see it appear under the Scans tab with an in-progress status.

​
Inspecting scan history

From the dashboard: Click on a repository, then open the Scans tab. You’ll see a list of past scan runs with their status, scan type, commit SHA, and bug counts. From the CLI: Use detail scans list to view scan history for a repository.

​
Scan statuses

If a scan consistently shows a failed status, contact [email protected] with the repository name.
