Apple Application Inventory Projection

REA can project one or more authenticated inventory_artifact Evidence records for the same IPA into an Apple application inventory. The projection is execution-free: it reports exact paths, content hashes, detected formats, runtime-family hints, and path-based bridge hypotheses. It does not parse plist or CMS semantics or claim observed runtime calls.

The result includes every component in each inventory category and every JavaScript-to-native bridge candidate pair. It has no caller-selected component budget, prefix truncation, or omitted-count fields. Duplicate inventory pages are merged by artifact identity and occurrence path; their Evidence IDs remain attached as source Evidence.

Coverage is complete-within-inventory when the supplied pages reconstruct the complete authenticated inventory, and partial otherwise. A partial result states that absence is unknown. Component and bridge-candidate arrays are still the complete projection of the inventory that was supplied.
