File: inspector/latest/user/sbom-generator-ecosystem-collection.md

Summary

Added documentation for 9 new ecosystem collections (Amazon Q Developer, Claude Code, Conda, Docker binaries, Generic AI/ML Models, GitHub Copilot, Kiro CLI, Ollama, Ollama Model Collector) and expanded existing Apache ecosystem with Cassandra and Struts support. Included details about supported applications, detection methods, installation paths, and example PURLs for each ecosystem.

Security assessment

This change documents expanded SBOM generation capabilities for security tools, enabling better vulnerability detection in software supply chains. It adds details about security-relevant components like Docker binaries and AI/ML models but doesn't address any specific vulnerability or security incident.
