What's new in github-code-search v1.4.0

Full release notes: https://github.com/fulll/github-code-search/releases/tag/v1.4.0

Highlights

The interactive interface has been redesigned to match the project's visual identity:

Violet branding — the cursor highlight, section separators and brand badge now use bgMagenta / magenta consistently throughout the UI.
Brand badge header — a github-code-search badge is displayed at the top of the screen alongside the current query and organisation, giving the TUI an immediately recognisable header.
Green checkmarks — selected items now show a green ✓; deselected items show a blank space instead of an empty circle, reducing visual clutter.
Refined arrows — repository expand/collapse arrows changed from ▶/▼ to ▸/▾, matching the lighter style used in the documentation.
Right-aligned match counts — each repository row pads its match count flush with the right edge of the terminal window, making it easy to scan at a glance.

A VHS-recorded demo animation (demo/demo.gif) now appears directly in the README, letting users see the tool in action before installing anything.

SECURITY.md — responsible-disclosure policy with a private contact address and a clear timeline commitment.
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md — Contributor Covenant 2.1, the industry-standard code of conduct.
CHANGELOG.md — root-level changelog pointing to this blog for per-release details.
Social preview — a docs/public/social-preview.svg (1280 × 640) provides a polished GitHub social card.

Features section — eight bullet points summarising what the tool does.
Use cases — five concrete scenarios showing when github-code-search saves time.
Comparison table — side-by-side comparison with gh search code, highlighting why an interactive TUI matters.

Added repository, homepage and bugs fields, plus 18 keywords, so the package is correctly indexed on npmjs.com and pkg.pr.new.
