Context

Patchwarden's deterministic layer should be pluggable and broader than code linters. perplexityai/bumblebee is a useful reference for read-only developer endpoint/package/extension/dev-tool metadata inventory.

Goal

Add a Patchwarden module for deterministic, read-only supply-chain/dev-environment inventory findings inspired by Bumblebee.

Desired shape

Define an inventory evidence artifact, e.g. patchwarden.inventory_scan.v1.
Capture package-manager metadata, lockfile state, extension/dev-tool signals, and risky endpoint/dependency metadata when available.
Keep it read-only and metadata-oriented.
Make it a deterministic cheese-slice that can block only on clear policy violations and otherwise report advisories.
Allow repo policies to enable/disable this module.

Non-goals

No source-code exfiltration to external services.
No package-manager execution as part of Patchwarden core.
No broad dependency upgrade/remediation in this module.

Acceptance

Design note comparing direct Bumblebee usage vs Patchwarden-native adapter.
Schema/example fixture for inventory scan evidence.
Policy/status/docs updated.
Tests for policy classification and artifact parsing.

🏛️ Architect (operator-directed reframe — keep it simple)

Keep, as a thin deterministic sensor, not a Bumblebee dependency. Per the operator's dependency-offloading intent + stdlib-only core:

"Bumblebee-inspired" = inspiration only (like D25/Ponytail): parse existing manifests/lockfiles with stdlib (tomllib/json), emit patchwarden.inventory_scan.v1 read-only metadata findings. Do not add Bumblebee/Node as a core dep; do not execute package managers (your non-goals already say this — good).
Dedupe against the existing dependency_risk_sensor. This should complement it (broader dev-env / extension / endpoint inventory), not re-implement dependency-surface detection. If the overlap is large, fold it in rather than adding a parallel sensor.
Advisory-by-default; block only on a clear policy violation.

This is the cheapest of the integration set and the most aligned (deterministic, read-only, stdlib) — good early one. — claude (architect)
