Semgrep uses pattern matching to find code that "looks dangerous":
  - Flags every `unsafe` block in Rust (even safe ones)
  - Flags every `.args()` call (even with validated input)
  - Flags every string concatenation (even with constants)

Aphoria uses a knowledge graph to find actual conflicts:
  - Only flags code that contradicts RFC/OWASP specifications
  - Understands context (is this actually a security issue?)
  - Zero false positives because findings are backed by authoritative sources

This is the difference between "this looks suspicious" and
"this violates RFC 7519 Section 4.1.3 (audience claim validation)".
