refactor(action): replace bash blocks with zero-dependency Node.js modules

Extract ~450 lines of complex bash from action.yaml into modular,
unit-tested Node.js scripts in lib/. All logic is covered by 26 native
node:test unit tests (node --test, no external dependencies).

Modules added:
- lib/platforms.js   - platform parsing and OCI manifest auto-discovery
- lib/distro.js      - SPDX PURL distro detection (os_name/os_version)
- lib/verifier.js    - Trivy arch mapping and SHA256 verification
- lib/diagnostics.js - CI terminal diagnostic formatters
- lib/install-trivy.js  - Trivy install/verify entrypoint (replaces bash step)
- lib/extract-sboms.js  - SBOM extraction entrypoint (replaces bash step)
- lib/scan-sboms.js     - SBOM scan + diff entrypoint (replaces bash step)

Tests added (all pass, auto-discovered by
ode --test):
- test/platforms.test.js
- test/distro.test.js
- test/verifier.test.js
- test/diagnostics.test.js
- test/orchestration.test.js

action.yaml shrinks from 554 to 107 lines. Inputs are bridged to Node
scripts via INPUT_* env vars so modules are fully decoupled from the
Actions runner and testable in isolation.

 ## ✨ Features
 
 - **Dynamic Multi-Platform Support**: Automatically discovers and scans all architectures present in container images, or iterates over an explicit list of target architectures.
-- **Fast Attestation Extraction**: Uses `docker buildx imagetools inspect` to extract platform-specific SBOMs directly from registry manifest indices in seconds without downloading layer blobs.
-- **Graceful Fallbacks**: If SBOM attestations are missing for any platform, automatically falls back to generating SBOMs directly with Trivy per architecture.

If attestations are missing or produce 0 CVE findings (common when third-party generators omit OS qualifiers in SPDX), it automatically falls back to generating SBOMs directly with Trivy per architecture.
 - **Set-Based Differential Analysis**: Categorizes vulnerabilities into:
   - 🔴 **Introduced Vulnerabilities** (newly added in this branch / commit)
   - 🟢 **Fixed Vulnerabilities** (present in target baseline, resolved in this branch)
   - ⚪ **Unchanged Vulnerabilities** (pre-existing in target baseline)
-- **Secure by Default**: Verified Trivy binary downloads against static SHA256 checksum lockfiles and single-step unified caching (binary + vulnerability database).
+- **Secure & Unit Tested**: Verified Trivy binary downloads against static SHA256 checksum lockfiles, single-step unified caching, and comprehensive native unit tests (`node:test`).

@@ -48,21 +47,36 @@ This action supports two modes for obtaining SBOMs:
 ### 1. Direct Image Scanning with Trivy (`use-inbuild-sbom: false` — Default & Recommended)
 By default, the action uses `trivy image --format spdx-json` to generate the SBOM directly from the container images:
 - **Full Filesystem Fidelity**: Inspects the entire flattened root filesystem, reading `/etc/os-release` and native package databases (e.g. `/var/lib/dpkg/status`, RPM databases, apk).
-- **Accurate OS & Language Package Detection**: Successfully catalogs both OS packages (Debian, Alpine, RHEL, etc.) and application dependencies (Python, Node.js, Go, etc.).
+- **Accurate OS & Language Package Detection**: Catalogs both OS packages (Debian, Alpine, RHEL, etc.) and application dependencies (Python, Node.js, Go, etc.).
 - **Symmetric, Apples-to-Apples Comparisons**: Both `head` and `target` images are analyzed using the identical Trivy engine and vulnerability database, preventing skewed diffs.
 
-### 2. Built-in Attestation Extraction (`use-inbuild-sbom: true`)
+### 2. Built-in Attestation Extraction with Resilient Fallback (`use-inbuild-sbom: true`)
 When enabled, the action extracts SBOM attestations attached to the container image using `docker buildx imagetools inspect`:
 - **Speed**: Extracts the SBOM JSON metadata directly from the registry manifest index in seconds without pulling image layer blobs.
-- **Underlying Generator (Syft)**: Docker Buildx (`sbom: true`) uses BuildKit's embedded Syft scanner (`moby/buildkit-syft-scanner`).
-- **Known Limitations with Trivy**:
-  - **Testing/Rolling Distributions**: Embedded Syft versions may not recognize newer or unreleased distributions (such as Debian 13 "Trixie"), recording the OS as `family="none"` and skipping OS package vulnerability matching.
-  - **Multi-Stage Builds**: Analyzing layer diffs rather than the flattened container rootfs can cause package database paths to be omitted or detached from the OS manifest.
-  - **Schema/PURL Discrepancies**: Syft and Trivy express certain package qualifiers and namespaces differently in SPDX. When Trivy scans a Syft SPDX file that lacks explicit distro qualifiers, Trivy will silently skip OS vulnerability checks.
-  - **Differential Skew**: If a `head` image uses an incomplete Syft SBOM (detecting only language packages) while `target` is scanned directly with Trivy (detecting 400+ OS packages), the differential report will erroneously show hundreds of "resolved" CVEs.
+- **Underlying Generator (Syft / Docker Scout)**: Docker Buildx (`sbom: true`) uses BuildKit's embedded Syft scanner (`moby/buildkit-syft-scanner`).
+- **Distro Detection**: Automatically extracts OS distribution information from package PURLs (e.g. `debian/12`) and queries Trivy with `--distro` to accurately identify vulnerabilities on the extracted SBOM.
+- **Resilient Fallback**: If an extracted in-build SBOM scan produces 0 CVE findings (a common issue when third-party generators omit OS distribution qualifiers from SPDX packages) or if scanning fails, the action **automatically falls back** to running `trivy image --platform "$platform" --format spdx-json` directly on the image. This guarantees that vulnerability scans never fail silently or report false zeros.
+- **Audit Copies**: The action preserves copies of both the raw extracted in-build SBOM (`inbuild-sbom-*.spdx.json`) and the final scanned SBOM (`sbom-*.spdx.json`) for auditing and debugging.
+
+### ⚖️ Trade-offs: Why do the results differ between strategies?
+
+The vulnerability results between Strategy 1 (`sbom: false`) and Strategy 2 (`sbom: true`) are **not identical**:
+
+| Feature / Metric | Direct Trivy Scan (`use-inbuild-sbom: false`) | Built-in Attestation (`use-inbuild-sbom: true`) |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Generator** | Trivy directly on container rootfs | Docker Scout / BuildKit (Syft) |
+| **Execution Speed** | Slower (pulls image layer blobs) | **Very Fast** (~5x faster, 0 layer downloads) |
+| **Debian Slim Findings Example** | **~225 CVEs** (`debian:bookworm-slim`) | **~104 CVEs** (`debian:bookworm-slim`) |
+| **Package Resolution Model** | Source & binary packages (`/var/lib/dpkg/status`) | Binary packages cataloged in SPDX PURLs |
+| **Filesystem Inspection** | Full filesystem (static binaries, libraries) | Manifest-only (packages cataloged at build time) |
+| **Primary Use Case** | **High-fidelity security audits & release gates** | **High-speed PR checks & developer feedback loops** |
+
+#### Why the vulnerability counts differ:
+1. **Debian Source vs. Binary Packages**: Debian security advisories (DSAs / DLAs) are tracked and published per **source package** (e.g., the source package `glibc` produces multiple binary packages like `libc6`, `libc-bin`, `locales`). Trivy's filesystem scanner reads `/var/lib/dpkg/status` to map installed binary packages directly to Debian source package advisories. Syft's default SPDX output catalogs installed binary packages as PURLs without source-package relations, so Trivy's SBOM scan queries only the exact binary package entries that match Debian database schemas without the source-mapping context.
+2. **Filesystem vs. Manifest Scope**: Direct image scanning unpacks and inspects the entire container image filesystem (including file hashes, crypto libraries, and static binaries). An in-build SBOM scan is strictly limited to the package inventory written by the build-time generator.
 
 > [!TIP]
-> If your builds run on stable base images where BuildKit's Syft scanner accurately captures all OS packages, you can set `use-inbuild-sbom: 'true'` to speed up CI runs. Otherwise, leave it as `false` to ensure consistent and comprehensive scans.
+> Setting `use-inbuild-sbom: 'false'` remains the recommended default for maximum accuracy and cross-platform consistency. If you choose to enable `use-inbuild-sbom: 'true'`, the built-in fallback ensures full coverage even when third-party attestations lack OS package metadata.
