Title: [Project] API Security Scanner Pro - Desktop app with 49+ OWASP rules and TON payment integration
Body:
Hey everyone!
I just released v1.2.0 of my API Security Scanner - a professional desktop application I built as part of my Bachelor's thesis at MEPhI (National Research Nuclear University, Moscow).
**What it does:**
- Scans OpenAPI 3.1, Swagger 2.0, and Postman collections for vulnerabilities
- 49+ security rules based on OWASP API Security Top 10
- Generates detailed PDF/HTML reports with charts
- Available as native macOS .app (no Python installation needed)
**Technical highlights:**
- Built with Python + PyQt5 for the GUI
- YAML-based rules engine (easy to extend)
- Docker & CLI support for CI/CD integration
- Integrated TON blockchain payments for license management
**Why I built this:**
I wanted to create a practical tool that combines API security testing with modern payment systems. The TON integration allows users from any country to purchase licenses easily.

Would love your feedback on the security rules and overall approach! What other features would you like to see?

Congrats on the thesis project, sounds like a solid foundation. One thing that would make this way more useful for me: adding a VS Code extension or at least a JSON Schema validation step before the scan runs, so I can catch malformed specs early. Right now I imagine it just bombs out mid-scan and I'd have no idea if my spec is even valid.
