Research direction

Start by reviewing PR #1343 and the reproducible NOTICE generation command (pnpm notice), then compare their coverage with checklist item 2 and the 2b CELA requirement referenced here. Done means the remaining CELA requirement is satisfied and the third-party NOTICE checklist item can be closed.

Description

Original author: @cedricvidal

Sub-issue of #1345 (Microsoft OSS release checklist).

Partially addressed by #1343 — adds the NOTICE + generator, but does not fully close this item (see 2b CELA below).

Checklist item 2 — Third-party Open Source / NOTICE — PR #1343 open, pending merge

No vendored third-party source; all OSS via package managers. NOTICE generated tools-only (generate-license-file + cargo-about, no AI-authored text) with a reproducible generator (pnpm notice). 810 attributions (546 npm name@version + 264 cargo crates; 508 unique npm names), all permissive, no copyleft obligations.
