Aikido ignore scopes: this issue vs by path vs by CVE vs by rule

TL;DR

Per Aikido docs: prefer the narrowest ignore scope - CVE and rule ignores apply to all repositories.

Steps

1. Per Aikido docs: prefer the narrowest ignore scope - CVE and rule ignores apply to all repositories.

When to use

You are seeing this: Options: Only this issue or issue group (narrowest - note that ignoring a group does not auto-ignore future subissues, which re-open the group); Ignore by path (creates a rule ignoring all current and future file-based issues under a path, e.g. test... Use this skill when you run into "Aikido ignore scopes: this issue vs by path vs by CVE vs by rule".

When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

Versions

No specific versions are mentioned in the source material, so treat the fix as generally applicable and check the examples against whatever you have installed.

Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.

Source: Problem: You need to silence a finding but are unsure which ignore scope to pick. Options: Only this issue or issue group (narrowest - note that ignoring a group does not auto-ignore future subissues, which re-open the group); Ignore by path (creates a rule ignoring all current and future file-based issues under a path, e.g. test frameworks); Ignore all findings for a CVE (global across every repository); Ignore all findings for a rule (global across every repository, e.g. one SAST rule). CVE and rule ignores are global, so prefer the narrowest scope that fits. The ignore view consolidates auto-ignored and manually ignored issues with their rationale.

Verified resolution: Per Aikido docs: prefer the narrowest ignore scope - CVE and rule ignores apply to all repositories.
