Impact Summary

These two sprints together deliver a comprehensive backport detection system:

  1. Version-aware analysis - Proper handling of RPM, Debian, and Alpine version semantics
  2. Multi-distro support - Cross-distro evidence sharing via derivative mappings
  3. Bug tracking integration - Debian/RHBZ/LP bug ID to CVE resolution
  4. Binary-level detection - Delta signature matching for compiled code
  5. 5-tier evidence hierarchy - Structured confidence scoring with audit trails

Total tasks completed: 81 tasks Total tests added: 300+ tests
