Fall back to jar internals after central timeout

[bjk7119]

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved JAR analysis behavior when Maven Central searches or POM downloads time out.
  • Analysis now proceeds to inspect JAR contents or try the next available endpoint without queuing the item for another retry.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

JAR analysis no longer retries Maven Central searches or POM downloads. Timeout cases fall back to JAR internals, and each JAR is processed once with direct result values.

Changes

JAR timeout fallback

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Timeout fallback and result contract src/fosslight_binary/_jar_analysis.py	Central search and POM download timeouts now continue to JAR-internal inspection. _process_one_jar no longer accepts skip_central_search or returns retry flags.
Single-pass JAR analysis src/fosslight_binary/_jar_analysis.py	analyze_jar_file no longer tracks pending SHA-1 values or queues timed-out JARs. Each JAR is processed once.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 613f9

Some timed-out JAR scans can report incorrect metadata or omit license information, so the fallback path should be corrected before merge.

🟠 Major · Use JAR metadata after a Central POM timeout. · src/fosslight_binary/_jar_analysis.py:306-306

306-306: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use JAR metadata after a Central POM timeout.

When Central coordinates differ from the embedded POM and _download_pom_to_tempfile returns no file with timed_out=True, the code keeps the Central coordinates. It then removes pom_tmp_path without extracting the embedded POM license. The manifest fallback cannot replace those coordinates because groupId and artifactId remain set.

Restore g2, a2, v2, and url2 in this branch. Extract the embedded POM license before cleanup. If the embedded POM has no coordinates, the reassignment clears the Central coordinates and allows the manifest fallback to run.

Proposed fix

             tmp_path, timed_out = _download_pom_to_tempfile(
                 groupId, artifactId, version, timeout=search_timeout)
             if tmp_path:
                 try:
                     license_str = get_license_from_pom(

                 finally:
                     try:
