Where it applies

Jobs this tool actually does, and the surface each one is exercised on.

Find known vulnerabilities in an artifact before it ships.
ci-pipelinecoding-agent
Re-scan an existing SBOM as new vulnerabilities are published, without rebuilding.
ci-pipeline

Results change over time for identical input — the vulnerability database moves. Never cache a verdict and treat it as still true.
