> Explain the crate scanner thing?

I assume a reference to tools that help manage potential issues around dependencies, e.g.:

* https://github.com/rustsec/rustsec/tree/main/cargo-audit

* https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/cargo-deny

"[cargo-audit] Audit Cargo.lock files for crates with security vulnerabilities reported to the RustSec Advisory Database."

"cargo-deny is a cargo plugin that lets you lint your project's dependency graph to ensure all your dependencies conform to your expectations and requirements." e.g. license, security advisories, source.
