- Drift score calculation (0.0-1.0 scale) for infrastructure changes
- Side-by-side comparison UI with color-coded changes (added/removed/changed)
- Historical trend charts showing port counts over time
- "Compare with Previous" button on scan detail pages
- Scan history API endpoint for trending data
API Endpoints:

Testing:
