Vulnerability impact

Partition analysis at 5.42.2 (uses each advisory's fixed-version, vulnerable-range, affected-ranges, and fix-commit ancestry to decide):

• 1 cleared — the new version is outside the advisory's affected range, OR the tag's lineage includes a known fix-commit. These will drop off the next scan.
• 1 still affecting — the new version matches the advisory's range, the fix hasn't been published, OR the advisory lacks structured range data so partition defaulted to still-affecting (the conservative pick). Rows marked ⚠ unverified are the latter case.

Quality suggestions

• Missing tests block. This package has no standalone tests, so the buildbot will only verify compilation — not functional correctness. Consider adding a minimal smoke test (e.g., a --version or small round-trip invocation) as part of this PR so future bumps catch regressions. See packages/python/build.ncl for a simple example.
