feat(parsers): scan pinned requirements.txt behind --python flag (#672) - #1546
add flag_python (--python) and wire through cli args to parser selection
add requirements.txt parser in src/parsers/requirements-txt.ts:
parse pinned lines of the form name==version
skip comments, blanks, editable installs, unpinned ranges, and unsupported markers
record skipped entries as notes and warnings
set packageref.ecosystem to "pypi" and paths to [["project", name]]
register requirements.txt in lockfilehandler table and scansource
update readdirectdependencynames to extract dependencies from requirements.txt
enforce maintainer experimental rules:
python findings print but are excluded from --fail-on gate calculation (exit 0)
python packages and findings remain excluded from spdx and cyclonedx sboms
--offline refuses to scan python inputs and exits with a clear refusal error
add example fixture in examples/python-requirements/requirements.txt
add unit and integration tests covering parser, experimental exit, offline refusal, sbom absence, and direct relationship classification
what changed and why
adds opt-in python scanning for pinned requirements.txt behind an explicit --python flag, per maintainer steps 3 and 4 of #672. no auto-detection: requirements.txt is only read when the flag is passed, so existing adopters see no behavior change. findings are printed but excluded from the --fail-on gate, and offline mode refuses python inputs instead of reporting clean, because the local advisory db only carries npm advisories. python packages stay out of spdx and cyclonedx because purlforbom remains npm-only, so no pypi purls leak into compliance artifacts.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added experimental Python dependency scanning with --python for pinned requirements.txt entries.
Scan results identify skipped dependencies and unscanned requirements files, and link Python packages to PyPI.
Important Notes
Python findings do not affect exit codes. Some options, including offline mode and fix workflows, are unavailable with Python scanning.
Bug Fixes
Improved scan completeness reporting and baseline placement for scans of individual files.
Corrected vulnerability-gate handling so only eligible findings affect failure decisions.
The change adds an experimental --python option for scanning pinned dependencies from requirements.txt. It adds Python-specific parsing, advisory lookup, completeness reporting, gate handling, and output behavior.
Changes: Python requirements scanning
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Parse and load requirements.txt src/types.ts, src/parsers/*, src/scan/completeness.ts, tests/parsers/*
The parser accepts supported pinned requirements and reports skipped dependencies and unscanned files. The loader carries scan metadata into scan results. Tests cover parsing, loading, and partial-scan reporting.
The --python flag selects the single-folder scan path. Validation rejects listed incompatible options and offline modes. CLI help and documentation describe the option and gate behavior.
Process Python scan results src/advisory/osv-advisory-source.ts, src/scan/*, src/scanner.ts, src/remediation/fix-commands.ts, src/utils/{finding,version,baseline}.ts, tests/scan/python-requirements.test.ts
Scan handling uses PyPI advisory queries and Python-specific dependency matching. Skipped and unscanned inputs affect completeness. Python findings do not affect vulnerability gates or ratchet results.
Render Python findings and scan status src/output/*, tests/html-reporter.test.ts, tests/cli-integration.test.ts, tests/scan/python-requirements.test.ts, tests/shell-command-quoting.test.ts
Output formats use PyPI links and avoid npm fix guidance for Python findings. SARIF recognizes requirements.txt scans. Outputs identify Python findings as experimental and excluded from the exit-code gate.
Python scanning is opt-in and experimental, and its findings are deliberately excluded from the exit-code gate. Several earlier concerns about unchecked inputs and output clarity were not re-verified, so owners should confirm them before relying on this scan in CI.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title follows the required "type: short description" form with type "feat", lowercase after the colon, and no trailing period. It names the main change: opt-in scanning of pinned requirements.txt behind a --python flag. The scope "(parsers)" and the "(#672)" suffix are extra, but the form check passes. The title matches the changeset, which adds the --python flag, the requirements.txt parser, and the wiring that connects them.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description covers the required "What changed and why" section and explains the opt-in behavior, the --fail-on exclusion, the offline refusal, and the SBOM exclusion. It references #672. The template's "Closes #" line is not filled in. The description uses "Refs #672" instead, and it does not state whether the PR closes an issue. The description also repeats the heading in lowercase as "what changed and why", so the section is present but duplicated. These gaps are minor, so the description is mostly complete.
Full details: Linked Issue
Explanation
I checked the pull request body. It contains the line "Refs #672" in the "what changed and why" section. The text reads: "per maintainer steps 3 and 4 of #672" and "Refs #672". The check passes when the body uses Closes, Fixes, Resolves, or Refs followed by an issue number. "Refs #672" meets that rule. The commit subjects also reference #672, but the check only requires the PR body. No other tool evidence is needed for this check.
Full details: Closes Keyword Matches Scope
Explanation
I checked the PR body for issue-closing keywords. It uses no Closes, Fixes, or Resolves. The only issue reference is "Refs #672" in the body, and the commit subjects also use "refs #672". The check passes when the body only uses Refs, so no issue read or scope comparison is needed. The #672 reference appears in the title, but the check looks at the body. Merging this PR will not auto-close #672.
Full details: No New Runtime Dependency
Explanation
I checked the manifest files in the reviewed range. The change does not touch package.json, so no runtime dependency is added. Evidence: - The name-status inventory for refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base..head lists no package.json or lockfile. It lists src/parsers/requirements-txt.ts as added, but that is source code. - The dependencies block is identical at base and head: better-sqlite3, fflate, semver, yaml, yarn-lockfile. - optionalDependencies is null at both revisions. - devDependencies is identical at both revisions. - A git diff --stat limited to *package.json and lockfiles returns no output. No entry was added to dependencies or optionalDependencies. No package moved from devDependencies into dependencies. The check passes. I did not confirm that the new parser avoids importing packages that are absent from package.json. The check does not cover that case. The check covers only manifest entries.

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Preserving PyPI package spelling causes affected-package matching to discard the advisory's fix for equivalent names.
The finding can omit an available fixed version even though the advisory includes one.
This can occur when: A noncanonical pin such as Jinja2==2.4.1 receives a PyPI advisory whose affected package name is jinja2.

Later ratchet runs fail on new Python findings, but the first run does not.
Users get different exit codes for the same Python finding, depending on whether .cve-lite/baseline.json exists. On the first --ratchet run, PyPI findings are excluded from the gate. On the next run, a new PyPI finding makes the command exit 1.
The help text says the exclusion applies to "ordinary scans and initial ratchet runs". It does not say that later ratchet runs still fail on Python findings. Users who read the help text may not expect that result.
Decide which behavior you want, then make the help text match it. Do not filter PyPI findings out of the later ratchet check to fix the mismatch. That change would let a vulnerable PyPI package exit 0. If you keep the current behavior, state in the help text that new Python findings fail later ratchet runs. If you want quieter first runs, print how many Python findings the gate skipped.

The SBOM exclusion tests do not guard anything this PR adds.
These tests call buildCycloneDxBom and buildSpdxDocument directly with Python packages. The exclusion comes from purlForSbom in src/utils/purl.ts. That helper returns null for every ecosystem except npm, and this PR does not change it. The same assertions pass on the base commit, so reverting this PR would not make them fail.
I would add a test that runs handleSingleFolderScan with sbom set against a project that has a requirements.txt and --python enabled. That test covers the path this PR adds: Python loading, then SBOM output with no Python components or vulnerabilities. It fails if a future change lets pypi packages reach the SBOM builders.

Name the "pypi" ecosystem value once in this parser.
This parser uses "pypi" in two places.

A typo in either spot would validate the version with the wrong scheme or send an unrecognized ecosystem downstream. A named constant keeps both uses in step.

The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Thanks @bhushan4work, the parser is in good shape. It goes through the PEP 440 module from #1397 rather than adding its own version handling, and it copes with post releases, epochs, extras, inline comments and pip-compile hash continuations. The flag is explicit, a scan without it is unchanged, and offline refuses as it should.
The work left is mostly about the experimental rules from #672, and in particular the one underneath all of them: Python must never report clean when it didn't look. I tried it on a few small trees and found four places where it does:
A repo with both a JS lockfile and a requirements.txt.examples/direct-fixable plus a requirements.txt, with --fail-on high: without --python it exits 1 on two npm highs. With --python it exits 0, the npm lockfile is never scanned, and nothing says so. Someone adding the flag to an existing CI job would silently lose their npm gate. Please either scan the lockfile too or say plainly that it was not scanned (refusing is fine as well).
More than one requirements.txt. With a/requirements.txt and b/requirements.txt, only a is scanned. Please list the ones that were not scanned.
Lines that were skipped. One pinned line plus two unpinned ones ends with "No known vulnerabilities found" and complete: true in the JSON, while two of three dependencies were never checked. The warnings print, but the final line and the JSON should not say clean.
Flags that can't check Python.--check-licenses prints "No license issues found" for PyPI packages it never looked up, and --check-maintenance and --usage run their npm and JS logic silently. Same for --sbom: it writes a valid SBOM with zero packages and exits 0, which reads as "no components". I'd refuse all four with --python, in src/cli/validate.ts with conflictMessage alongside the existing --only-used and offline refusals, so they fail before the scan starts rather than after the banner.
The other thing is fix guidance. Fix targets are validated against the npm registry, and that step doesn't know the package is from PyPI. django==2.2.0 comes out as "Fix: upgrade to 99.99.99", which is a placeholder package called django on npm, and everything else gets a note like "No versions above 2.19.1 were found for requests on npm". The PyPI fix side is #1516 and stays with us, so for this PR please skip that validation for non-npm findings and don't show a fix target for them yet. The advisory's own fixed version is fine to keep in the findings.
Also: the body says closes #672, but #672 is the umbrella and stays open until Python graduates, so please make it Refs #672. It needs a rebase too: #1515 changed the lockfile selection in src/index.ts and src/parsers/index.ts, and the merge conflicts there. And --python wants a line in the help, docs/cli-reference.md and the README, plus one line in the output saying Python findings are experimental and don't affect the exit code. Right now "1 urgent" followed by exit 0 has no explanation.

Exercise multi-folder scanning in this regression test.
Users rely on multi-folder scans to classify npm dependencies correctly. I would run runMultiFolderScan with nonempty npm fixtures and assert the names passed to scanPackages or the resulting relationships. This test calls the helper directly, so a wrong ecosystem at the scanner call site would pass unnoticed.

Thanks @bhushan4work, this is a big step. A root lockfile next to requirements.txt now refuses, unscanned requirements.txt files are listed, unpinned lines make the scan partial, the four incompatible flags are refused in validate.ts, later --ratchet runs no longer fail on Python, django==2.2.0 no longer shows 99.99.99, and the help, docs and README cover --python. The tests catch nearly all of it when I take each piece out.
Two places can still say clean without having looked, which is the rule underneath all of this:
An npm project below the root. A root requirements.txt with examples/direct-fixable copied into web/: --python --fail-on high exits 0 and says nothing, where the same tree without --python exits 1 on two highs. Same with a root pinned package.json and no lockfile. The refusal only looks for a lockfile at the root, and --python turns off multi-folder detection, so a nested npm project just isn't seen. Please refuse (or at least name it) for any npm lockfile or pinned package.json the multi-folder search would have found.
Unscanned requirements files still end clean. With a clean package in a/requirements.txt and django==2.2.0 in b/requirements.txt, the warning lists b, but the run ends "No known vulnerabilities found" with complete: true. Could unscanned files add an incomplete-scan diagnostic, the way skipped lines now do?
And a few more:
--check-overrides isn't refused yet; with --python it fails with buildOverrideContext: no package.json, or runs the npm override audit next to the Python scan.
Option lines like --index-url https://... are counted as a skipped dependency and make the scan partial. They aren't dependencies, so I'd ignore them. -r other.txt and -c are real gaps, but should be reported as an included file that wasn't scanned rather than as a dependency.
The verbose table now shows no target for Python, but compact output still says "Fix: upgrade to 5.2.17", and recommendedAction in the JSON, the SARIF message and the HTML report say the same. That version comes straight from the advisory and nothing has checked it, so please drop the "upgrade to" wording for Python on those surfaces too, with a test pinning it. Listing the advisory's fixed version as data is fine.
The refusal blocks in single-scan.ts (around 108-114) can't be reached any more since validateOptions refuses first, and they repeat its message. Please remove them and move their three tests to validateOptions.
ecosystem === "pypi" is still written out in eight places across the printers, fix-commands and scanner. One helper (or isPep440Ecosystem, which main already has) would keep these together. If the parser emits OSV's own PyPI spelling, the case mapping in osv-advisory-source.ts can go too.
The PR body still says closes #672; please make it Refs #672.

Thanks @bhushan4work, both of the big ones are fixed. A root requirements.txt with examples/direct-fixable copied into web/ now refuses and names web/package-lock.json, and the same goes for a pinned package.json with no lockfile. Unscanned requirements files make the scan partial, with complete: false and exit 3 under --incomplete-policy error. --check-overrides is refused, --index-url lines are ignored, -r and -c show up as included files that weren't scanned, the "upgrade to" wording is gone for Python on every surface, the dead refusal blocks are out, and isPep440Ecosystem is used throughout.
A few things before this can land:
One test fails, here and in CI (build and Node 22 floor), and it's pointing at a real problem: a Python finding with no fixed version now gets no guidance at all instead of "No known fix exists". See the inline note.
npm output changes without --python. The new skipped-dependency diagnostic fires for the npm package.json fallback too, which has always listed unpinned dependencies there. A package.json with axios: 0.21.1 and lodash: ^4.17.0 and no lockfile exits 0 under --incomplete-policy error on main and exits 3 here, with complete flipping to false. One of the conditions we agreed for Python was that no existing user's output changes, so please limit it to requirements files. If marking that npm case partial is worth doing, it deserves its own issue.
The PR body still ends with closes #672, which would close #672 on merge. Please make it Refs #672.
Two tests that don't catch what they cover. Forcing the HTML report back to non-Python wording leaves the HTML test green, since the row never contained "upgrade to" anyway; asserting the Target cell has no fix hint for 1.26.17 would pin it. And removing the nested pinned package.json check (the web/package.json, no lockfile case) leaves everything green, so that case needs a test.
Smaller ones, take or leave: in checkMixedRepoRefusal the code throws inside the try and then catches its own error by message, so narrowing the try to the loadFromPackageJson call would be cleaner. pip accepts -rother.txt with no space, which the "skip anything starting with -" rule drops silently. And Python runs still print npm-only notes ("Installed node_modules contents are not verified") and "OSV + npm registry advisory" as the source.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Thanks @bhushan4work, everything from the last round is in. A Python finding with no fixed version says "No known fix exists" again, in the JSON and the next-action text. The skipped-dependency diagnostic only fires for requirements files now, so the npm package.json fallback (axios 0.21.1, lodash ^4.17.0, no lockfile) exits 0 under --incomplete-policy error with complete: true exactly like main, and its output is identical to main. The body says Refs #672, the HTML test pins the Target cell, and the nested web/package.json case has its test. The smaller ones are done too: the try is narrowed, -rother.txt counts as an included file, and Python runs show OSV as the source without the node_modules note. The earlier fixes all still hold.
Three things left:
The new scan tests write their mock advisories into the real cache.noCache: true only skips reading the cache, saving still happens, so running the suite drops the two mocked records (PYSEC-2023-192, PYSEC-2020-001, with the test's own summaries) into ~/.cache/cve-lite/osv-vulns.json on the machine running it. A real scan that hits those ids later gets the fake record back. Passing a temp cacheDir in those options, the way the other scanner tests do, fixes it. See the inline note.
A capitalised package name loses its fix version.Flask==2.0.1 finds both advisories but reports "No known fix exists for Flask", while flask==2.0.1 gets 3.1.3. pip treats names case-insensitively and with -, _ and . as the same, and plenty of requirements files write Flask or Django, so the fixed-version lookup needs the names normalised before it compares them with the advisory's package name.
Passing the requirements file itself with --ratchet crashes.cve-lite req.txt --python --ratchet stops with ENOTDIR: not a directory, mkdir 'req.txt/.cve-lite'. Main doesn't accept a file path at all, so this is new with the file input. Using the file's folder for the baseline, or refusing the combination with a clear message, would both be fine.
Small one, take it or leave it: the HTML report still links Python packages to npmjs.com (https://www.npmjs.com/package/Flask), and the project path node gets a link too.
Once those are in, could you also resolve the CodeRabbit threads that are already addressed? Most of them are, and they're still open because its review is paused.

Thanks @bhushan4work, all three things from my last review are done: the scan tests no longer write into the real cache, Flask==2.0.1 gets its fix version, and --ratchet writes the baseline next to the requirements file. I ran it against real OSV and the experimental rules hold: Python findings print without touching --fail-on or --ratchet, every --sbom form and both offline flags refuse, Python findings carry no npm guidance, and without --python the npm output (terminal, JSON, SARIF, CycloneDX) is the same as main. Merged with current main the suite passes and it builds; there's one small import conflict in osv-advisory-source.ts you'll see on rebase.
Two things before this can go in:
A file where every line is skipped exits 0.requests>=2.0 plus flask prints "No scannable packages were found" and exits 0 even under --incomplete-policy error. Add one pinned line and the same run exits 3, so the more it skips, the cleaner the result looks. The one rule for experimental Python is that it must never look clean when it couldn't look, and here the parser knows exactly what it skipped. Could you make this case report the skipped lines as an incomplete scan (exit 3 under --incomplete-policy error), with a test?
The Target cell hides warning states for PyPI. The PEP 440 shortcut in the verbose table and the HTML Target cell runs before the malicious-package, unreadable-advisory and no-fix states, so a malicious PyPI package shows "-" there. Compact output and the JSON still carry the state. Could you move the shortcut after those checks?
Smaller ones:
Please add a test for the guard that keeps Python findings out of the fix command plan. Removing it fails nothing today; other checks happen to cover it, but this is the rule that matters most.
--fix and --create-pr aren't refused with --python. --fix does nothing but still writes a result file. Refusing both would match the other refusals.
--python --only-used errors with "--usage cannot be used with --python", naming a flag the user didn't type.
The directNames.add(...) line in package-json.ts can be removed with nothing failing, since the path already marks those packages direct. If it isn't needed, drop it.
options.python || scanInput.source === "requirements-txt" is still in two places in single-scan.ts; the flag alone should decide it.
Last, there are a lot of open review threads. Most of CodeRabbit's are already done, so could you resolve those as you go? Two of them don't apply here: making Python count toward the gate goes against the experimental rules, and Python fix guidance is separate in-house work, so you can say so and resolve them. I'll resolve mine.

Thanks @bhushan4work, the gate is wired the way main does it now, with vulnerabilityGateClasses on the filtered list in both the single and multi-folder paths, and the JSON and HTML reports say Python was left out of the gate. The experimental rules still hold on the built CLI.
One thing before it can go in, and it comes from main moving rather than from anything you did. The GHSA fix that landed on the 12th added a test in tests/utils/package-json.test.ts that calls readDirectDependencyNames(dir, false) with two arguments. With this branch merged, ecosystem comes through as undefined, the function returns an empty set and that test fails. Please rebase onto main and check the full suite passes.
Optional: nothing fails if the note is taken out of the HTML report, the --report JSON or the ratchet output, so a test for the HTML one would pin it. The notice text also now lives in three places (the new constant plus two lines in printers.ts), and the printers could use the constant.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Thanks @bhushan4work, the rebase is clean and the two-argument helper is back exactly as on main, so the test that broke passes and the full suite is green on top of current main. The notice comes from the shared constant now too.
I also ran it against what landed on main this week. A requirements file with packages never hits the new "nothing to scan" exit, an all-skipped file still reports as partial, and the unresolved-advisory notice behaves sensibly with Python findings. The experimental rules all still hold: Python findings print without failing --fail-on, --sbom and offline are refused, and without --python the npm output is the same as main.
Two small things you can take or leave in a follow-up. The HTML test passes even with the notes-panel line removed, because the embedded report JSON carries the same text, so asserting on the notes section itself would pin it. And the first --ratchet run says "until then --ratchet gates like --fail-on" and then exits 0 for Python-only findings, so printing the Python notice there would explain why.
Approved. I merge these one at a time, so it will land shortly.

src/scanner.ts:471-472 Minor · Performance & Scalability · Quick win
Persist clean Python OSV query results between runs.
For a Python-only scan with no advisory matches, idSet.size is 0 and wroteNpmAdvisoryEntries stays false. The save at src/scanner.ts:471-472 is skipped. The query results written at src/scanner.ts:245 stay only in cache.queryEntries in memory. The next run does not reuse them, so OSV is queried again for each package.
npm clean scans do not have this gap. The npm supplemental pass sets the flag at line 345, which saves the cache. Python packages do not pass through that block. This affects repeat-run latency and OSV request volume, not scan results.
Set the persistence flag whenever a package query result is written at line 245, not only in the npm pass. Declare the flag before the OSV query loop, because it is currently declared after it. The existing !offline guard in the save condition still applies.

Keep the fetch mock inside the FetchLike contract.
I would return actual Response objects here, as the other mocks do. The two as any assertions let incomplete response objects pass the test-tree type check. Using Response keeps these tests checked when request handling changes.

Future Python options now require changes inside a validator of roughly 190 lines. I would move this independent block into validatePythonOptions(options) and call it here. Keep onlyUsed before usage so errors still name the requested flag.
This gives the Python restrictions one clear maintenance boundary without changing validation behavior.

Users receive the same security guidance from both action formatters. I would put the shared Python action selection in one helper and convert its null result to "" only in summarizeNextAction. This prevents the two surfaces from developing different no-fix messages.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Keep the no-fix state visible in compact Python output.
For a normal PyPI finding with no fixed-version hint, users now see Fix: -. This branch does not check whether a fix exists. The verbose table, HTML, and JSON distinguish this case from a withheld remediation target.
I would show the dash only when a fixed-version hint exists. Otherwise, show the Python no-fix message. Keep the malicious and unreadable-advisory checks first.
As per path instructions, “correctness of what a finding says matters more than style.”

@bhushan4work I have to take the approval back for one thing CodeRabbit's full review found, and it's a real one.
pip allows several options on one line, so --index-url https://pypi.org/simple -r vulnerable.txt is valid and pip follows the -r. Here that line starts with --index-url, misses both include checks, and falls into the "option lines are ignored" branch. vulnerable.txt is never scanned and never listed as unscanned, so the scan reports complete and clean, and --incomplete-policy error can't catch it. That's the one thing experimental Python must never do. Could you check every token of an option line for -r/--requirement/-c/--constraint (including the = and joined -rfile forms) before ignoring it, and add that case with a vulnerable pin in the included file?
The other CodeRabbit note is small but worth doing while you're there: compact output shows Fix: - for a Python finding with no fixed version, where the verbose table, HTML and JSON all say there's no fix. Showing the no-fix message in that case would keep them consistent.
Everything else from my last review still stands, so once these two are in it's ready.
- Add FLAG_PYTHON (--python) and wire through CLI args to parser selection
- Add requirements.txt parser in src/parsers/requirements-txt.ts:
- Parse pinned lines of the form name==version
- Skip comments, blanks, editable installs, unpinned ranges, and unsupported markers
- Ignore option lines (e.g. --index-url, -i, -f) without marking scan partial or skipped
- Report included files (-r, -c, --requirement, --constraint) as unscanned files
- Redact URL userinfo credentials across all skipped-dependency branches and warnings
- Record skipped entries as notes and warnings
- Set PackageRef.ecosystem to "pypi" and paths to [["project", name]]
- Send "PyPI" in OSV query payload while keeping internal ecosystem as "pypi"
- Register requirements.txt in LockfileHandler table and ScanSource
- Require ecosystem argument in readDirectDependencyNames to prevent non-npm leaks
- When --python is set, refuse if root or nested JS/TS lockfile or pinned package.json is present
- Disallow incompatible flag combinations (--python with --only-used, --offline, --check-licenses, --check-maintenance, --check-overrides, --usage, --sbom) in CLI validation
- When multiple requirements.txt exist or included files are referenced, record unscannedFiles and mark scan incomplete with UNSCANNED_REQUIREMENTS_FILE diagnostic
- Report partial scan when dependencies are skipped or requirements files are unscanned
- Skip npm fix-target validation for pypi findings
- Exclude pypi findings from ratchet comparisons using shared isGatableFinding helper
- Drop "upgrade to" wording for python findings on compact, json, sarif, and html surfaces
- Consolidate ecosystem checks to isPep440Ecosystem helper
- Add notice that Python findings are experimental and do not affect the exit code
- Enforce maintainer experimental rules:
1. Python findings print but are excluded from --fail-on gate and ratchet calculations (exit 0)
2. Python packages and findings remain excluded from SPDX and CycloneDX SBOMs
3. --offline refuses to scan Python inputs and exits with a clear refusal error
- Document --python and --fail-on Python exclusion in CLI help, README, and documentation
- Add example fixture in examples/python-requirements/requirements.txt
- Add unit and integration tests covering parser, mixed-repo refusal, multiple requirements.txt, ratchet exclusion, skipped completeness, surfaces formatting, and validation

add flag_python (--python) and wire through cli args to parser selection
add requirements.txt parser in src/parsers/requirements-txt.ts:
register requirements.txt in lockfilehandler table and scansource
update readdirectdependencynames to extract dependencies from requirements.txt
enforce maintainer experimental rules:
add example fixture in examples/python-requirements/requirements.txt
add unit and integration tests covering parser, experimental exit, offline refusal, sbom absence, and direct relationship classification
what changed and why
adds opt-in python scanning for pinned requirements.txt behind an explicit --python flag, per maintainer steps 3 and 4 of #672. no auto-detection: requirements.txt is only read when the flag is passed, so existing adopters see no behavior change. findings are printed but excluded from the --fail-on gate, and offline mode refuses python inputs instead of reporting clean, because the local advisory db only carries npm advisories. python packages stay out of spdx and cyclonedx because purlforbom remains npm-only, so no pypi purls leak into compliance artifacts.
