Recent episodes from Shannon

  1. One Path for Custom Endpoints

    A single merged change simplifies how Shannon talks to OpenAI and other providers, dropping an older gateway format in favor of the Responses API and repositioning custom base URLs as a general-purpose override rather than a special case.

  2. The 3.0 Major Release Lands

    Shannon 3.0 shipped through PR 433, introducing an agentic static analysis pipeline that reconciles with pentest findings, alongside two breaking changes to configuration and CLI output. Documentation followed in three separate passes to…

  3. Terminal Polish Lands on a Feature Branch

    A single pull request brings a consistent visual system to Shannon's command-line output and adds naming documentation, with all changes staged on a feature branch rather than main.

  4. Weekly Recap - Reliability, Branding, and Broader Model Support

    Shannon shipped scan failure transparency, default SARIF output, npm branding, and new xAI subscription auth this week, while a large agentic SAST proposal and a credential-precedence fix opened for review.

  5. Config Precedence Fix

    A single fix corrects credential precedence in Shannon's configuration resolver, ensuring gateway-scoped API keys in the TOML config properly override leaked environment variables. The bug caused silent authentication failures against…

  6. xAI Subscription Auth Lands

    Shannon now supports running pentests authenticated through xAI's Grok subscription, backed by a required upgrade to the underlying pi harness. Two coordinated pull requests, #434 and #435, delivered the feature and its dependency in…

  7. Getting the Brand Straight Before 3.0

    The team finished a full branding pass across the npm package, CLI, and reports in PR #432, closing out the identity work right as PR #433 opens the door on a much bigger Shannon 3.0 rewrite centered on agentic SAST and finding…

  8. SARIF Reporting Now On By Default

    A single merged pull request changes how Shannon reports exploit run results, turning on SARIF output by default instead of requiring an opt-in. Documentation and config schema were updated to match.
