Research direction
Start by examining the main script (likely 'vulnwhisperer.py' or similar) where Nessus scans are fetched. Look for functions like 'get scans' or 'pull nessus scans' to understand current parameters. The issue requests adding a date filter; implement a last days or start date argument. Check if there is a Nessus API endpoint that supports date filtering. Review any existing tests in the repository to ensure new functionality is tested.
