Summary

Replaces ~450 lines of complex bash scripting in action.yaml with modular, zero-dependency Node.js modules, covered by 26 native unit tests.

Why?

Testability: Bash logic was untestable. Each module is now independently unit-tested with node:test.
Maintainability: Single-responsibility modules are far easier to reason about and modify.
Zero dependencies: All modules use only Node.js built-ins (fs, path, crypto, child_process, os). No node_modules, no npm install.
Composite action preserved: actions/cache stays in action.yaml as a native step.

Modules Added (`lib/`)

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

Tests Added (`test/`)

26/26 tests pass via node --test (auto-discovered, same command as CI).

`action.yaml` Change

554 lines -> 107 lines. Inputs bridged via INPUT_* env vars.

## Summary Replaces ~450 lines of complex bash scripting in `action.yaml` with modular, zero-dependency Node.js modules, covered by 26 native unit tests. ### Why? - **Testability**: Bash logic was untestable. Each module is now independently unit-tested with `node:test`. - **Maintainability**: Single-responsibility modules are far easier to reason about and modify. - **Zero dependencies**: All modules use only Node.js built-ins (`fs`, `path`, `crypto`, `child_process`, `os`). No `node_modules`, no `npm install`. - **Composite action preserved**: `actions/cache` stays in `action.yaml` as a native step. ### Modules Added (`lib/`) | Module | Responsibility | |---|---| | `platforms.js` | Platform parsing and OCI manifest auto-discovery | | `distro.js` | SPDX PURL distro detection (`os_name`/`os_version`) | | `verifier.js` | Trivy arch mapping and SHA256 verification | | `diagnostics.js` | CI terminal diagnostic formatters | | `install-trivy.js` | Trivy install/verify entrypoint (replaces bash step) | | `extract-sboms.js` | SBOM extraction entrypoint (replaces bash step) | | `scan-sboms.js` | SBOM scan + diff entrypoint (replaces bash step) | ### Tests Added (`test/`) 26/26 tests pass via `node --test` (auto-discovered, same command as CI). ### `action.yaml` Change 554 lines -> 107 lines.

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.

Summary

Critical: None.
Testing: The PR includes a comprehensive suite of unit tests in the /test/ directory, which covers the new Node.js logic well.
Improvement: The refactor significantly improves maintainability and testability by replacing complex Bash scripts with modular Node.js files. The use of node:child_process and node:fs keeps the action zero-dependency, which is excellent.
Nitpick: Ensure that the lib/ directory contents are considered when managing future updates to the action, as this adds complexity compared to a single action.yaml script block.

Overall, the refactoring is high-quality and correctly implements the transition from shell to Node.js.
