What is Continuous scanning and run-count coverage? Definition and why it matters
================================================================================

Running AI analysis repeatedly, on every commit and whenever models improve, on the premise that LLM bug finding is non-deterministic and coverage compounds with runs.

Detail: zkao's continuous-security page cites an 8 percent per-run hit rate compounding to 96 percent over forty runs; its later Bron Labs post adds that under fixed models and prompts runs converge, so the harness matters more than repetition. Both statements are true and together they justify continuous scanning with evolving harnesses.
