Use semantic diffs before failing drift.

Line 267 compares raw JSON hashes before parsing/diffing, so a different tools/list order can produce a FAIL with 0 actual diffs. Canonicalize snapshots or treat computeToolDiffs(...).length === 0 as PASS.

In `@core/src/execute/baselineScanner.ts` around lines 221 - 227, The drift check
in baselineScanner currently fails on raw JSON hash mismatches even when
computeToolDiffs returns no real changes, so reorder-only tools/list responses

tool snapshot before hashing or, at minimum, treat computeToolDiffs(...).length

with the parsing/diffing flow so snapshot order does not trigger false failures.

Validate the stored baseline before diffing it.
JSON.parse(baselineJson) can throw on a malformed baseline file, which aborts the scan before attack_done is emitted and leaves the progress state hanging after attack_start. Parse as unknown, validate with a Zod schema, and return an ERROR result with a clear message when the baseline is invalid.

parsing in baselineScanner should not assume the stored JSON is valid. In the

fails return an ERROR result with a clear invalid-baseline message instead of
letting JSON.parse or shape mismatches abort the scan. Keep the fix localized
around the baselineSnapshot creation path so attack_done still gets emitted and
progress state is not left hanging after attack_start.

Do not auto-accept detected drift as the new baseline.

After detecting a rug pull, Line 296 overwrites the trusted baseline with the changed snapshot. A second run will then PASS without explicit approval. Keep the original baseline and write the new snapshot as a candidate, or only update it through an explicit accept flow.
