Explanation

Custom patterns are an extension of the secret scanning engine. Before you can create or define any custom patterns, the underlying secret scanning feature must be enabled on the repository. Without secret scanning active, there is no scanning engine to evaluate custom patterns against. Enabling secret scanning is therefore a hard prerequisite - the option to define custom patterns only becomes available after it is turned on.
