Troubleshooting

False positives

What to do when a finding isn't reproducible.

Talos captures a full trace of every attempt. Re-run a single finding with talos-scan replay <finding-id>. If it still fails to reproduce, file an issue with the trace bundle attached.

Suppressing a known false positive

Add the finding ID to .talos-ignore at the root of your repo. Suppressions must include a reason and an owner.

.talos-ignore
# format: <finding-id> <owner> <reason>

Tuning the confidence threshold

Lower-confidence findings can be filtered globally with --min-confidence 0.8. This is safer than suppressing individual IDs long-term.
