fix(output): name the project's package manager in the within-range recommendedAction - #1586
When a parent already allows the fixed version, recommendedAction always said "run npm install to pick it up", even on pnpm, Yarn and Bun projects. That's the message from the Docusaurus (pnpm) --json output in the issue.
getRecommendedAction now takes an optional package manager, defaulting to npm. serializeFinding (JSON/HTML), SARIF, CycloneDX and SPDX pass the fix-command plan's packageManager, so the hint reads pnpm install, yarn install or bun install for those lockfiles. npm output, and output with no plan (no lockfile), stays exactly as before.
Tests in tests/output.test.ts:
npm: exact text unchanged, both directly and through serializeFinding with a package-lock plan
pnpm, Yarn and Bun: one case each (it.each). Each checks that the plan's packageManager and the serialized recommendedAction name that manager. All three fail on main.
Ran npm run lint:tests, npm run build, node scripts/typecheck-changed-tests.mjs (changed test file clean, no new errors), node dist/index.js advisories sync and npm test: 226 suites, 3448 passed, 1 skipped.
The compact terminal printer has a similar hard-coded "Fix: run npm install" line (printers.ts). I left it out to keep this to the issue's scope, and I'm happy to do it as a follow-up.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Fallback vulnerability recommendations for in-range updates now use the package manager identified by the fix plan, including pnpm, yarn, and bun. Recommendations continue to default to npm when no package manager is specified.
Package-manager-specific recommendations are consistent across supported report formats. Suggested runnable fix commands continue to take precedence.
Fallback vulnerability recommendations now name the package manager detected from the fix plan. Runnable suggested fix commands take precedence, and npm recommendations retain their existing wording.
Changes: Package-manager-aware recommendations

Summary
Format recommendations src/output/formatters.ts
getRecommendedAction accepts an optional package manager, defaulting to npm. Within-range remediation instructions use that manager's install command.
Output builders pass the fix plan's package manager to fallback recommendations. Tests cover npm, pnpm, yarn, and bun, including package manager detection from the lockfile source.
OWASP/cve-lite-cli#1593: Changes the same within-range recommendation behavior to use the finding-specific refresh command from the fix plan.
Suggested labels:bug
Merge Risk: Low · up to f511e
Fallback recommendations now name the detected package manager, and npm output is unchanged. The remaining concern is that plain yarn install or bun install may not refresh a lockfile-pinned vulnerable child, so a rescan could report the same finding. This is bounded guidance wording, and the owner can follow up on it.

Explanation
Issue #1583 requires recommendedAction to name pnpm, Yarn, and Bun when the fix plan detects those managers. It also requires tests for each manager and unchanged npm wording. The whole-PR summary shows that getRecommendedAction accepts the plan manager, all listed output builders pass it, and tests/output.test.ts covers npm, pnpm, Yarn, and Bun. The compact terminal printer is separate from recommendedAction and is explicitly outside this issue scope.

Use lockfile refresh guidance for Yarn and Bun users.
If the lockfile pins the vulnerable child, yarn install or bun install can leave it unchanged. The next scan can report the same finding.
I’d use manager-specific refresh guidance and ask users to rescan. For Bun versions that support transitive updates, bun update <child> can refresh the child.

Thanks @sarankumar1325, this is ready. The within-range advice now names the project's package manager in the JSON, HTML and SARIF output: on our pnpm, Yarn and Bun examples it says pnpm install, yarn install and bun install where main said npm install, and npm output is byte-identical to main. Merged with current main the suite passes and it builds.
On CodeRabbit's open thread: it's right that <pm> install doesn't move a child the lockfile already pins, but that's true of npm install on main too, and #1583 asked for the npm text to stay as it is. I'll file that separately, along with the compact "Fix:" line, which still says npm install. You can reply with that and resolve the thread. One optional extra: a SARIF assertion with a pnpm, Yarn or Bun plan, since dropping the package manager at the SARIF call site isn't caught by a test yet.
Approved. I merge these one at a time rather than in a batch, so it will land shortly.
