+## [0.2.64] — 2026-06-09
+
+### Fixed (engine reliability — false positives + scanner hang)
+
+- **False positives eliminated on clean code (86 → 0)** — pruned generic plural/common words (e.g. "ai agents", "cookie", "env", "group", "path") that leaked from `KEYWORD_DENYLIST` and flooded legitimate code with findings. Full test suite green (216 passed, 7 xfailed) — zero detection recall lost.
+- **ReDoS / scanner hang fixed at root** — 31 lookahead-led whole-document classifier regexes were evaluated with `.search()` (re-run at every offset → O(n²) catastrophic backtracking on large files). `engine.py` now flags anchored patterns and uses `.match()` (position-0, exact whole-document semantics) for those, keeping `.search()` for the ~1,035 token-finders. Worst real file (`decoder.py`) 117s → 0.30s; a 1.4 MB file now scans linearly (~2.3s).
+- **Enrichment gating** — ROT13/reverse/shape preprocessing now capped at ≤2000 chars (a secondary hang + false-positive source).
+- **SARIF `helpUri` fixed** — per-finding `/patterns/<ID>` always-404 links replaced with category→chapter deep-links (11 live pages) plus a `/patterns` hub fallback, unblocking the GitHub Action / Security-tab integration.
+
+Reliability release — pattern library unchanged at **1,019 patterns / 65 categories / 7,350 keywords**.
+
 ## [0.2.63] — 2026-06-07
 
 ### Added (V2 SHIP #9 — discovery_file_poisoning continued + repo_metadata_poisoning new category)

+# Security Policy
+
+Sunglasses is a security tool for AI-agent inputs. We take the security of the
+project — and of the agents that rely on it — seriously.
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+**Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.**
+
+Report privately via one of:
+
+- **GitHub Security Advisories** — use the "Report a vulnerability" button under
+  the repository's **Security** tab (preferred — coordinated disclosure built in).
+- **Email** — `security@sunglasses.dev`
+
+Please include: a description of the issue, steps to reproduce (a minimal scan
+input is ideal), the affected version (`sunglasses --version`), and the impact
+you observed (e.g. a bypass that lets a known attack pattern through, or a
+false-positive class that breaks benign content).
+
+## What to Expect
+
+- **Acknowledgement** within 3 business days.
+- An initial assessment and severity rating within 7 days.
+- Coordinated disclosure: we'll agree on a timeline before any public detail,
+  and credit you in the release notes unless you prefer to remain anonymous.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope: detection bypasses (an attack pattern that should be caught but is
+not), false-positive classes that block benign content, and any issue in the
+scanner, CLI, or MCP server that affects trust decisions.
+
+Out of scope: vulnerabilities in your own agent or in third-party services
+Sunglasses scans for — though we're happy to help you understand a finding.
+
+## Supported Versions
+
+The latest published version on PyPI receives security fixes. Older versions
+are not patched — please upgrade (`pip install -U sunglasses`).
