I would think there is value is storing which payloads were found.

I suppose we'd stick that in notes?

I think so, currently a number of probes inject triggers that detectors use as context for the selection so I would suspect a complimenting entry would be valuable in general. matches or something might be a reasonable name.

This also leads to the idea that detector results may come with evidence and maybe should get a more complex return type. Not something in scope here but worth entertaining thoughts about.

pkghallu detection uses notes[f"hallucinated_{self.language_name}_packages"]

+1 for an evidence field for individual detections, in general. Request tracked in #1624

The renamed detector here may be appropriate to have a fixer to support detection of outdated use in detector_spec or for a config that set the skip parameter.
