Hallint v0.2 Linter Fixes False Positives, Adds Secret Detection
Hallint, a linter for AI-generated code security bugs, shipped fixes for false positives in async-no-catch and missing-auth-check rules. Version 0.1.8 removes async-no-catch from recommended rules and adds inline suppression markers for public routes. The hardcoded-secret rule now uses dual-pass detection for known token prefixes.
