 ¹ Narrower language coverage — no Rust/Dart/Swift (Go and Ruby are now covered).
-² Reading **lockfiles** without a build is the norm today: OSV-Scanner, Trivy and Grype/Syft
-do it too. For **Maven `pom.xml`** specifically, *every* tool — `fad-checker` included — must
-reach Maven Central (or rely on a real build / CycloneDX SBOM) to resolve transitive versions;
-Trivy can resolve wrong transitive versions in that mode, while `fad-checker` flags what it
-can't resolve in chapter 0. The genuine "no build" win is **vs Snyk** (requires building the
-project) and **OWASP DC** (needs Maven Central access for Java accuracy).

+² Phase 1 exports only public coordinates; the online scan never sees your source tree —
 see [Air-gapped / PASSI](#air-gapped--passi-audits-anonymized-dependency-descriptor). OSV-Scanner
 has an offline mode, but it still needs the **source on the scanning machine**.
 
 **Where it fits:** a one-shot audit of a polyglot checkout you may not be able to build, a
 presentable HTML/Word deliverable, and confidential / air-gapped engagements.
-**Where it doesn't:** continuous CI supply-chain security, container/OS scanning,
-reachability analysis, auto-fix PRs — reach for **Trivy** or **Grype + Syft**. (It now
-*does* emit CycloneDX/CSAF and flag licenses + EPSS/KEV, but it isn't a gating CI daemon.)

 You don't have to choose — `fad-checker` takes Snyk's results as input (`--snyk`) and merges them.
