Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

hwinfo is to probe for the hardware present in the system. It can be used to generate a system overview log which can be later used for support.

Packages by operating system

Compare recorded versions, then open a package for dependency, file, checksum, and repository evidence. Version strings are distribution-specific, not a ranking of newer software.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
