Can I use a Bandit configuration file when ash runs?

Yes, ash will use a bandit configuration file if it is placed at the root of your project directory. It must be named .bandit, bandit.yaml, or bandit.toml. Configuration files must be formatted properly according to the Bandit documentation.

Note: paths excluded in a Bandit configuration file must begin with a / because ash uses an absolute path when calling bandit.
