202-209: Restructure Test Plan to vary sentence beginnings.

Three consecutive bullets begin with "Verify," creating repetitive phrasing. Consider rewording for better readability.

- ## Test Plan
- 
- - Verify analysis results from passing in config for analysis options.
- 
- - Verify results from new subcommands, such as `list-providers` and `list-targets`.
- 
- - Verify backwards compatibility with previous subcommands.

175-175: Verify field name depAanlysis in config example.

Line 175 contains a field name that appears to have a typo (double 'a'). Confirm whether this is intentional or should be depAnalysis.

- scope:
-   depAanlysis: true
+ scope:
+   depAnalysis: true

79-189: Enhancement documentation is well-structured and comprehensive.

The proposal clearly outlines the refactored CLI design, subcommand responsibilities, configuration file structure, and migration strategy. The config file example is thorough and the backwards compatibility section provides good context for implementation.

Overall this is a good start, I think it would make sense to add a concrete type or example for the configuration's (provider specific config, kantra analysis config, provier/ruleset location for discovery??) and where they would live, and the directory structure.

I think it is also worth figuring out the provider install bits, and where it goes, what is the install mechanism, and any other details.


The current `test` subcommand will fall under this new subcommand.

The list of available rules will probably need to be in a config file, you may want to mention that as well?

Can these be subcommands instead of flags that do different command actions?

Is there a world where you would discover new rulesets? maybe it makes sense to have this be a subcommand rather than a flag?
