v5.0.0 - Major Release: Windows Support, AST Accuracy, Module Upgrades

This release represents a significant evolution of Ultimate Bug Scanner with 105 commits and 10,600+ line additions across 50 files. Key themes include comprehensive Windows compatibility, mandatory AST-powered JS/TS analysis, and all language modules upgraded to v3.0+ standards.

🪟 Windows Compatibility (Breaking: Now Fully Supported)

• Added .ubsignore fallback chain when rsync unavailable: rsync → tar → Python
• Fixed Windows path parsing (C:/path:line:code) across all 8 language modules
• Added parse_grep_line() helper with proper regex for drive letter handling
• Portable SHA256 verification (sha256sum/shasum/openssl)
• Cross-platform installer improvements for Git Bash/MSYS2

🎯 AST Accuracy Enforcement (Breaking: ast-grep Now Required for JS/TS)

• JS/TS scanner now requires ast-grep for accuracy guarantees
• Noisy grep-based patterns removed in favor of AST-confirmed findings
• Type narrowing properly gated to TypeScript inputs only
• Exit code 2 signals environment errors (missing tools)

📦 Module Upgrades

All 8 language modules upgraded to v3.0+ standards:

🛡️ Security & Quality

• Added Claude Code hook to block destructive git commands
• Supply chain: SHA256 checksums auto-synced via GitHub Action
• Inline suppression: ubs:ignore, nolint, noqa markers respected
• Resource lifecycle analyzers now scope-aware (handles return/yield/defer)

🔧 Infrastructure

• GitHub Action for checksum auto-sync on push
• Portable update_sha256sums.sh (Linux/macOS)
• AI agent guardrails for Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Windsurf, Cline
• Test suite with manifest-driven cases

⚠️ Breaking Changes

1. ast-grep is now REQUIRED for JS/TS scanning (install via brew install ast-grep, cargo install ast-grep, or npm i -g @ast-grep/cli)
2. Exit code 2 indicates environment errors (missing required tools)
3. Windows paths now parsed correctly (may affect downstream tooling that depended on broken parsing)
