git-history ignored --exclude and the baseline-file exclusion, so it scanned every historical revision of a committed baseline, and it keyed every finding under a synthetic <git-history> path that no baseline entry could ever match. Because git log -p emits the same diff framing as git diff --cached, history now reuses the staged parser: real file paths, real line numbers, exclusions applied. git log gets the same config hardening as git diff. diff.relative made git emit cwd-relative paths and drop changes outside the current directory, so running the staged scan from a subdirectory silently reported clean while a staged secret sat one level up. It is now pinned off alongside the other diff settings.

Stacked on #87.
Summary
Two scan modes behaved differently from the rest in ways that lost findings.
Changes
--git-historyignored--excludeand the baseline-file exclusion, so it scanned every historical revision of a committed baseline, and it keyed all findings under a synthetic<git-history>path that no baseline entry could ever match. Sincegit log -pemits the same diff framing asgit diff --cached, history now reuses the staged parser — real file paths, real line numbers, exclusions applied.git logalso gets the config hardeninggit diffalready had.diff.relativesilently under-scanned. Withdiff.relative = truein a user's git config, runningscan --stagedfrom a subdirectory reported clean while a staged AWS key sat one level up (reproduced). Now pinned off with the other diff settings.Tests
186 pass. New: history findings carry real paths and respect
--exclude; a staged scan underdiff.relative=truefrom a subdirectory still fails.
