context-bootstrap

An empty-context workflow occurs when no findings, plugins, or framework metadata are available for reporting. It provides a structured setup path to kick off reporting pipelines by guiding the initial installation and data collection.

To set up report bootstrapping safely, you need access to installed plugins, an existing findings cache, and framework metadata. These components ensure actionable data and reliable contextual outputs.

Verifying findings cache freshness involves checking the availability and recency of cached data within the setup workflow. This ensures the data is actionable before moving from partial-context to full-context reporting.

Report bootstrapping works with partial context by guiding setup and data collection to fill gaps. It explains the three context paths: complete, partial, and empty-context workflows, helping you move toward meaningful reports.

Reports become hollow or unreliable when missing context prevents meaningful data analysis. Bootstrapping plugins, findings, and framework metadata resolves this by providing a guided setup to populate the required environment context.
