Description

BFS traversal has no depth limit. Users cannot restrict how deep the scanner goes. For repos with deeply nested directories, this may cause excessive scanning.

Location

src/client/scanner.c (BFS traversal)

Suggested Fix

Add --max-depth <n> flag. Track depth in the BFS queue by encoding depth in the directory entry or using a separate structure. Skip entries beyond max depth.

Severity

low
