Conversation
Six pages said or implied that every generator is downloaded on first use. cyclonedx-bom is a hard dependency in the action's pyproject.toml, and cyclonedx_py.py resolves the binary off PATH rather than through the runtime fetcher - so cyclonedx-py is always present, and Python SBOMs work with no fetch at all. Surfaced by the automated review on sbomify-action#398, verified against the source before changing anything. The practical claim - nothing to install - stays true everywhere and is unchanged. Only the 'all generators are downloaded' phrasing was wrong. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01UatuV4CjoCupLTRYNbD3Wq

The claim
Six pages said or implied that every generator is downloaded on first use:
sources.mdhow-it-works.mdadvanced.mdquickstart.mdruntimes/local.mdruntimes/docker.mdThe reality
cyclonedx-bomis a hard dependency in the action'spyproject.toml:and
_generation/generators/cyclonedx_py.pyresolves the binary withcheck_tool_available("cyclonedx-py")— offPATH, not through the runtime fetcher. Socyclonedx-pyis always present, and Python SBOMs generate with no fetch at all.That is a meaningful difference for anyone reading these pages to plan an air-gapped build or reason about
SBOMIFY_FETCH_RUNTIMES=0.What changed
Only the phrasing that overstated it. The fetched list in
advanced.mdwas already correct and is untouched, and the practical claim — nothing to install — stays true on every page.Verification
