Remove workload-scanning finding classes from cloudsec CLI/SDK help#319
Merged
Conversation
The workload scanner (agentless snapshot scanning) is not enabled in any production deployment; companion PRs remove its web UI and docs. The cloudsec CLI has no scanner-specific commands — `scan-status` is the collection-sweep status and stays — so the CLI surface to remove is the scanner-only finding classes (malware, secret, scan_finding) listed in the finding-filter help/docstrings, plus a "scanner artifact" example reason string. The canonical class list remains served dynamically by `cloudsec finding classes`.

Companion to the web-app and documentation PRs removing the Workload Scanning (CWPP) surface, since the feature is not enabled in any production deployment.
The cloudsec CLI has no scanner-specific commands —
limacharlie cloudsec scan-statusreports the collection-sweep status (inventory runs), not the workload scanner, so it stays. What this PR removes is the scanner-only vocabulary baked into help text and docstrings:malware,secret,scan_findingdropped from the finding-class lists in_EXPLAIN_FINDING_LIST(commands/cloudsec.py), theget_findingsdocstring (sdk/cloudsec.py), anddoc/cli/cloud-security.md.bulk-resolveexample reason "scanner artifact" replaced with a neutral example.Kept:
scan-status(collection status),coverage_gap(CAASM), CAASMscannersource wording (third-party vuln-scanner integrations), and the dynamiccloudsec finding classescommand, which always serves the server's canonical list.Tests: full unit suite green (3653 passed).
