fix(parsers): choose a nested lockfile by the root rules - #1515
When the scan root has no lockfile, nested discovery picked a lockfile by filename order and never read the folder's packageManager field. A pnpm project carrying a stale npm-shrinkwrap.json or package-lock.json was therefore scanned from the npm file, so a vulnerable pnpm-lock.yaml could scan clean and pass --fail-on. Root selection already honoured packageManager.
Discovery still decides which nested folder to use. Inside that folder the root rules now apply, including packageManager and shrinkwrap precedence, and the scan notes say which file was used and why. That choice is now one function, and the --debug bundle uses it too, so its package manager, lockfile version and npm link count describe the file the scan actually read rather than whatever sits at the scan root.
On a nested folder with a vulnerable pnpm-lock.yaml, a clean shrinkwrap and packageManager: pnpm, main reports no known vulnerabilities and exits 0; this branch reports the high finding and exits 1 under --fail-on high. Scan JSON is identical to main on nest, analog, workspace, yarn-berry, bun-workspace, direct-fixable, transitive-only, lint-staged and cline. One debug-bundle test from #1495 expected pnpm where the scan actually reads the shrinkwrap by precedence; it now expects the file the scan reads, with a separate case for a declared pnpm or Yarn project.
How discovery chooses between two different nested folders at the same depth is unchanged.
Lockfile discovery now applies consistently to nested project folders, improving package-manager detection and package scanning.
When multiple lockfiles are present, reported package-manager and npm lockfile-version details now reflect the lockfile selected for scanning.
Search depth is resolved consistently, including when a negative value is provided.
Improvements
Lockfile selection notes now explain which file was chosen, including when a declared package manager’s preferred lockfile is missing.
Nested lockfile selection now applies the root selection rules, including packageManager declarations. Debug metadata reports the package manager and lockfile version from the selected lockfile, and uses its npm path for link-entry reporting.
A shared lockfile-to-package-manager mapping replaces the local mapping. The scan selector applies root selection rules in root or nested folders and returns selection details and notes. Tests cover shrinkwrap precedence and notes for missing declared lockfiles.
Scan depth and selection integration src/utils/effective-options.ts, src/index.ts, src/parsers/multi-package.ts, tests/cli-integration.test.ts
resolveSearchDepth provides the effective depth. Package loading and multi-folder routing use the shared selection and routing helpers. CLI mocks provide the new parser functions.
The debug bundle passes the selected lockfile to environment metadata and its npm path to project metadata. Tests cover package-manager and lockfile-version reporting, including multi-folder scans.

Passing ScanLockfile fixes only the file selection. The bundle still rereads lockfile contents.
The bundle selects the lockfile again when it is created. If the selected lockfile changes after the scan reads it, environment.json and project.json can describe contents the scan did not read. buildEnvironmentJson reads lockfileVersion from the file at bundle time, and the npm link-entry count is read from the same path.
ScanLockfile stores the path, name, label, and notes. It does not store the contents. Passing it into createDebugBundle therefore does not stop these reads. It helps only when the selected file itself changes, for example when a root lockfile appears after the scan. A change to the same file still changes the reported values.
After --fix applies a fix, the scan loads the lockfile again. A ScanLockfile taken before that reload can be stale. The bundle must use the selection from the final load.
Record lockfileVersion and the npm link-entry count when the scan reads the lockfile. Pass those recorded values to the bundle.

Add an end-to-end case for a nested pnpm project beside a clean shrinkwrap.
With this change, a nested project that declares pnpm should use its pnpm-lock.yaml, even when a clean npm-shrinkwrap.json sits beside it. Under --fail-on high, that project should exit 1 and report the high finding. No e2e test covers this pair. The nested e2e tests in tests/e2e/nested-shrinkwrap.test.ts use only npm files. The new precedence tests in tests/utils/debug-bundle.test.ts check only the root and do not assert findings or exit codes.
Add the case to tests/e2e/nested-shrinkwrap.test.ts:
Import pnpmProject from ./harness.js with the existing harness imports.
Put packageManager set to a pnpm version in the package.json object. Without that declaration, the root rules are expected to select the shrinkwrap, and the test would not reach the pnpm path.
Prefix the package.json and pnpm-lock.yaml keys that pnpmProject returns with app/.
Add app/npm-shrinkwrap.json as a clean shrinkwrap with a SAFE_PKG entry, in the same form as the invalid-shrinkwrap case.
Run the CLI with --offline-db, SEEDED_DB, --json, and --fail-on high, as the first nested case does.
Assert that result.status is 1. Then read the single cve-lite-scan-*.json report from the project directory, as the first nested case does. Assert that findings contains one high finding for the vulnerable package. Checking the finding as well as the status confirms that the failure is the expected high finding and not another CLI error.
Remove the project directory with rmProject in a finally block.

The override context kept its own map from lockfile name to package
manager, and the search depth default was resolved in two places. Both
now live in one place so the debug bundle can reuse them.
With no lockfile at the scan root, nested discovery picked a lockfile by
filename order and never read the folder's packageManager field, so a
pnpm project carrying a stale npm lockfile was scanned from the npm file
and could pass --fail-on clean. Discovery still picks the folder; inside
it the root rules now apply, including packageManager and shrinkwrap
precedence, and the scan notes say which file was used and why. The
choice is exposed as one function so other consumers can agree with it.
The debug bundle derived the package manager, lockfile version and npm
link count from files at the scan root, so a nested scan reported an
unknown manager and a pnpm run beside a stale shrinkwrap carried an npm
link count. It now asks the scan's own lockfile selection.
…sing
When package.json declares a package manager whose lockfile is not in the
folder, the note claimed no packageManager field was declared. It now names
the declaration and the missing lockfile. The shrinkwrap note also named the
root when the choice was made in a nested folder.
A multi-folder scan reads every nested lockfile, but the debug bundle reported
one folder's package manager, lockfile version and npm link count as if they
described the whole run. It now reports packageManager "multiple" and leaves
the lockfile-derived fields out. The multi-folder routing rule is now one
helper shared by the scan and the bundle.
