What changed and why

Switching --osv-url reused another source's cached package matches and advisory details, including cached clean results. Namespace OSV query and detail cache keys with a SHA-256 identity of the normalized endpoint, including credentials without persisting them in plaintext keys. Use the same normalization for request URLs.

Bump the cache format to v7. During migration, loadCache removes unscoped OSV records from entries and queryEntries, so they disappear from the next saved file and from cache summary counts. Keep endpoint-scoped records and the separate npm advisory/publish-date caches. Preserve TTL, same-source hits, stale-detail fallback, and --no-cache behavior.

Tests cover endpoint switching, same-ID/different-detail records, mirror paths, negative caches, credential-free keys, legacy migration and persistence, cache summary counts, and the actual query/detail request URLs for trailing-slash endpoints.

Validation

• npm ci, npm run build, and npm run lint:tests passed.
• Changed-test type-check against e0e5db0ff776 passed: seven changed test files clean, no new errors; 30 existing test-tree errors remain elsewhere.
• Synced 230,916 advisory records into an isolated test database from the checksum-verified cached public OSV dump.
• Full npm test -- --maxWorkers=2 --watchman=false: 229 suites passed; 3497 tests passed, 3 skipped.
• Removing either legacy cleanup guard or request normalization makes the targeted regression tests fail.
• Original endpoint-switching reproduction remains fixed; six offline scan JSON fixtures and their exit codes match the base.

Closes #1610

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • OSV endpoint URLs are normalized so equivalent URL formats use consistent results.
  • Cached OSV queries and vulnerability details are separated by endpoint, preventing results from one endpoint from affecting another.
  • Existing caches are upgraded to the new format. Unscoped OSV query and detail entries are removed during migration; npm cache entries are preserved.

Changing --osv-url now uses endpoint-specific OSV query and detail cache entries. The endpoint is normalized for requests and cache-key generation. Cache format v7 removes legacy unscoped OSV detail and query entries.

Changes: OSV endpoint-scoped caching

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Normalize OSV endpoint identity src/utils/osv-endpoint.ts, src/advisory/osv-advisory-source.ts, tests/osv-advisory-source.test.ts	The shared utilities normalize endpoint URLs and derive hashed cache keys. OsvAdvisorySource normalizes its base URL before requests. Tests cover normalized request URLs.
Use endpoint-specific OSV cache entries src/scanner.ts, tests/scanner-cache.test.ts, tests/scanner-endpoint-cache.test.ts, tests/scanner-npm-alias.test.ts	Query and detail cache reads and writes use endpoint-specific keys, including stale-detail fallback and confirmed-missing details. Tests cover isolation between endpoints, normalized URL equivalence, legacy entries, and npm aliases.
Upgrade cache format and migrate legacy entries src/types.ts, src/osv/cache.ts, tests/osv-cache-endpoint-migration.test.ts, tests/osv-cache.test.ts, tests/output.test.ts	The cache format advances to version 7. Loading older caches removes unscoped OSV detail and query entries. Tests cover migration, retained records, round-trips, and namespaced summary fixtures.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title uses the required fix: short description format, starts with an allowed type, uses lowercase text after the colon, has no trailing period, and accurately describes the endpoint-scoped OSV cache changes.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1610 requires OSV query and detail caches to use the selected normalized endpoint, to avoid plaintext credentials in cache keys, and to handle legacy unscoped records. normalizeOsvEndpoint canonicalizes the endpoint. osvCacheKey hashes that identity with SHA-256 and uses the result for query and detail cache access. OsvAdvisorySource uses the same normalization for query and detail request URLs. loadCache upgrades to version 7 and removes unscoped legacy OSV entries while retaining namespaced entries and npm caches. The added endpoint, migration, and request URL tests cover these requirements.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed source changes implement endpoint normalization, endpoint-scoped OSV cache keys, and cache migration for issue #1610. The test changes verify the reported source-confusion cases, persistence, and request URLs. No unrelated change is shown in the provided whole-PR summary.

Full details: Closes Keyword Matches Scope

Explanation

I found that this change delivers the work requested by issue #1610. It scopes query and detail caches to the normalized endpoint, removes legacy unscoped records, and hashes credentials in cache keys. The added tests cover endpoint switching in both directions and different details for the same advisory ID.

Thanks @vianmangal, this is a nice catch and a clean fix. On main, a scan of direct-fixable against a second --osv-url with the same cache dir returns the first endpoint's two highs without ever contacting the second one. With your branch it queries the new endpoint. The tests are good too: unscoping either key, the stale-fallback read or the negative-detail write each fails something.

Two things before I merge. The issue asked to invalidate or migrate the legacy unscoped records. Right now they're skipped on read, but loadCache keeps them and saveCache writes them straight back, so they never leave the file. On a cache seeded by main, one scan on your branch takes it from 2/27 to 4/54 records, and the Cache: summary line reports 4 and 54. Could you bump the cache version and drop non-osv: keys from entries and queryEntries when migrating from the old one? The TTL is 30 minutes, so nothing of value is lost.

The second is smaller, inline: the normalization in the OsvAdvisorySource constructor has no test.

Assert the query and detail return values too.

I would capture both results and assert their contents alongside the request URLs. The current test accepts an implementation that sends the correct URLs but discards the responses.

As per path instructions, “Flag tests that only assert on mocks.”

Thanks @vianmangal, this is ready. The v7 migration does exactly what I was after: a cache seeded by main now stays at 2/27 after a scan on your branch instead of growing to 4/54. The trailing-slash test pins the normalization too, since taking that line out fails both cases. Normal users take one cold run after upgrading and hit the cache again after that, which is fine given the 30-minute TTL. And switching to a second endpoint now actually contacts it instead of quietly reusing the first one's answers. Nice work.

Approved. I merge these one at a time, so it will land shortly.
