+`scans match BEFORE_SCAN_ID AFTER_SCAN_ID` matches a specific pair of scans.
+`scans match --all` matches all completed scans of the current repository,
+including other worktrees and clones. Saved matches appear in `scans show` and
+are reused unless `--force` is passed. Use `scans match --all --force` to rebuild
+saved comparisons in chronological order. Forced matching recomputes model
+decisions for the selected pairs while retaining stable finding identities.
+Ctrl-C stops matching and keeps comparisons that have already been saved.
+
+Only high-confidence duplicates are grouped. Possible duplicates remain
+uncertain. Findings with related but independent root causes are shown as
+related and kept separate. A later confirmed match replaces an earlier related
+label. Matching preserves the original findings, triage, and sealed scan
+artifacts.
+
+Matching reuses stable finding IDs and confirmed links. Codex is called only
+when a new decision is needed, using the existing Codex authentication. No
+additional service or API key is required. Scans without sealed artifacts are
+skipped, but their confirmed links can still be reused. Older custom plugins
+still save confirmed and uncertain matches. Use the bundled plugin for
+related-finding links and large comparisons.
+
+SDK callers can compare findings without saving a workbench comparison:
+
+```ts
+import { readFile } from "node:fs/promises";
+import {
+  matchScanFindings,
+  type FindingsDocument,
+} from "@openai/codex-security";
+
+const before = JSON.parse(
+  await readFile("/path/to/earlier-scan/findings.json", "utf8"),
+) as FindingsDocument;
+const after = JSON.parse(
+  await readFile("/path/to/later-scan/findings.json", "utf8"),
+) as FindingsDocument;
+
+const comparison = await matchScanFindings(
+  { before: before.findings, after: after.findings },
+  { workingDirectory: "/path/to/repository" },
+);
+console.log(comparison.matches, comparison.uncertain, comparison.related ?? []);
+```
+
+Pass `knownFindingGroups` in the input to reuse confirmed groups of stable
+`findingId` values from your own store. Returned matches always identify the
+original `occurrenceId` values. The options also accept a model, reasoning
+effort, and `AbortSignal`. Progress callbacks are optional; their errors do not
+interrupt matching.
