When the 'Ignore Order of Lines' option is used together with masked or ignored keywords in a Golden Configuration match pattern, the comparison logic can fail to detect missing or extra configuration lines between the golden and target configs, since masking causes multiple lines to appear identical and order-independent matching treats them as present regardless of actual count or placement. As a result, no alert is triggered and the details view shows no configuration difference, even though a real discrepancy exists. This enhancement would add a secondary verification step to the alert condition logic specifically for checks using 'Ignore Order of Lines,' confirming that an actual line-count or content difference exists before suppressing an alert. Customers relying on order-independent, masked-pattern compliance checks would gain more reliable alerting and reduce the risk of undetected configuration drift.
