Week 11 Meetings and Activities

Weekly Project Sync Meeting 11​

(August 04, 2026)

Attendees​

Discussion​

  • Reviewed final regression testing for the license expression branch.
  • Discussed how to explain old regression tests versus new expression-specific tests.
  • Reviewed original OJO and Nomos scanner test results.
  • Discussed where expression-specific OJO, Nomos, and parser tests are located.
  • Continued LicenseLynx implementation discussion.
  • Reviewed the centralized resolver flow for scanner license normalization.
  • Discussed integrating the resolver into ScanCode and OJO.
  • Reviewed how to keep LicenseLynx scoped to stable SPDX mappings.

Activities Done in Week 11​

  • Ran the original Nomos test suite and confirmed there were no failures.
  • Ran the original OJO test targets and confirmed there were no failures.
  • Verified ojo_unit_test, ojo_functional_cli_test, and ojo_functional_scheduler_test.
  • Confirmed that the expression branch does not regress existing OJO and Nomos behavior.
  • Prepared clarification for maintainers that old scanner tests prove regression safety.
  • Pointed expression-specific coverage to OJO scanner tests, Nomos expression tests, and the shared parser corpus.
  • Implemented the LicenseLynx postinstall population design in a separate branch.
  • Added bundled LicenseLynx mapping data.
  • Implemented filtering so only stable SPDX mappings are inserted.
  • Built the centralized fo::LicenseRefResolver.
  • Integrated the resolver into ScanCode and OJO lookup paths.
  • Verified that scanner names can resolve to existing license_ref rows instead of creating scanner-specific license rows.
  • Cleaned the LicenseLynx branch scope and fixed CI issues around commitlint and REUSE metadata.

Next Steps​

  • Continue addressing maintainer review comments on the license expression PR.
  • Add more expression-specific tests if maintainers request stronger coverage.
  • Continue manual and database-level validation of LicenseLynx mappings.
  • Prepare the LicenseLynx PR for review with a narrow, well-scoped commit history.
