# Config-Audit: Drift Detection

Compare current configuration against a saved baseline to see what changed.

## Arguments

- `$ARGUMENTS` may contain:
  - A target path (default: current working directory)
  - `--save`: Save current state as baseline
  - `--baseline <name>`: Compare against a specific named baseline (default: "default")

## Implementation

### Save a baseline

If `--save` is present:

Tell the user: **"Saving current configuration as baseline..."**

```bash
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scanners/drift-cli.mjs <path> --save --name <baseline-name> 2>/dev/null
```

Read stdout for confirmation. Tell the user:

```markdown
### Baseline Saved

Captured current state as baseline "{name}".
Run `/config-audit drift` anytime to see what changed since this point.
```

### Compare against baseline

Without `--save`:

Tell the user: **"Comparing current configuration against baseline..."**

```bash
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scanners/drift-cli.mjs <path> --baseline <name> 2>/dev/null
```

Read stdout. If baseline not found, tell the user:

```
No baseline found. Save one first with:
  /config-audit drift --save
```

Otherwise, parse and present the drift report:

```markdown
### Configuration Drift

**Trend:** {Improving|Degrading|Stable}
**Score:** {before} → {after} ({+/-delta} points)

{If new findings:}
#### New Issues ({count})
| ID | Severity | Description |
|----|----------|-------------|
| ... | ... | ... |

{If resolved findings:}
#### Resolved ({count})
| ID | Description |
|----|-------------|
| ... | ... |

{If area changes:}
#### Area Changes
| Area | Before | After | Change |
|------|--------|-------|--------|
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
```

### List baselines

If `$ARGUMENTS` contains `--list`:

```bash
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scanners/drift-cli.mjs --list 2>/dev/null
```

### What's next

After viewing drift:
- `/config-audit fix` — Auto-fix new findings
- `/config-audit posture` — Full posture assessment
- `/config-audit drift --save` — Update the baseline to current state
