## E2E Test Plan
- **Setup**:
  - [ ] Log in with a user that has appropriate permissions
  - [ ] Navigate to the relevant page/section where this feature appears
  - [ ] Ensure test data exists (scanned artifacts, SBOM data, or seed data as needed)
- **Core verification**:
  - [ ] Verify the component renders correctly with sample data
  - [ ] Verify interactive elements respond to user input
  - [ ] Verify data is fetched and displayed from the correct API endpoints
- **Edge cases**:
  - [ ] Verify graceful handling when backend API is unavailable (error state)
  - [ ] Verify responsive layout at different viewport sizes
  - [ ] Verify accessibility (keyboard navigation, screen reader labels, ARIA attributes)
