[ANE-Bot] Parse package-registry dependencies in Package.swift

[fossa-ane-bot]

Overview

Package.swift manifests that declare a package-registry dependency fail analysis. SwiftPM 5.7 introduced registry dependencies, which are declared with a scoped identifier instead of a URL:

.package(id: "mona.LinkedList", from: "1.0.0")

The Package.swift parser (src/Strategy/Swift/PackageSwift.hs) only accepted url: (or path: for local packages) as the source of a .package(...) entry, so any manifest using id: failed the Swift analysis for that project with:

Error: parsing file: .../Package.swift
  unexpected "id: ""
  expecting "name:", "path:", or "url:"

This is a genuine, valid manifest shape rather than a user error, so the fix is to accept id: in the same position as url:. Registry dependencies take exactly the same version requirements as URL dependencies (from:, exact:, .upToNextMajor(from:), .upToNextMinor(from:), "1.0.0"..<"2.0.0", "1.0.0"..."1.5.0"), so they reuse the existing requirement parser; the registry identifier is used in place of the URL as the dependency name.

Internal parser fix: no user-visible schema, CLI flag, or subcommand change, so the docs/schema checklist items don't apply. Changelog.md is updated.

Acceptance criteria

fossa analyze on a project whose Package.swift declares .package(id: "scope.name", ...) dependencies no longer fails with unexpected "id: "" expecting "name:", "path:", or "url:". The registry dependency is reported as a swift dependency named scope.name with the declared version constraint, alongside the project's URL dependencies as before.

Testing plan

1. Build the CLI: cabal build (or make build-cli).
2. Create a minimal reproduction:

   mkdir -p /tmp/swift-registry && cat > /tmp/swift-registry/Package.swift <<'EOF'
   // swift-tools-version:5.7
   import PackageDescription
   
   let package = Package(
       name: "Example",
       dependencies: [
           .package(url: "https://github.com/apple/swift-argument-parser", from: "1.0.0"),
           .package(id: "mona.LinkedList", from: "1.0.0"),
       ],
       targets: [.target(name: "Example")]
   )
   EOF
   

3. Run fossa analyze -o /tmp/swift-registry. On master this fails with the unexpected "id: "" parse error; with this change it succeeds and the output lists both swift-argument-parser (^1.0.0) and mona.LinkedList (^1.0.0).
4. Unit tests: cabal test unit-tests --test-options='-m "Swift"' — the new Parses package-registry dependencies cases in test/Swift/PackageSwiftSpec.hs cover every id: requirement form and a manifest mixing url:, id:, and path: dependencies. Those cases fail on master (7/7) and pass with this change.

Risks

• A registry dependency is reported under its registry identifier (e.g. mona.LinkedList) rather than a URL, since that is all the manifest provides. FOSSA's Swift fetcher may not be able to resolve such a name today, but that is an "unresolved dependency" for one package rather than a failed analysis for the whole project, which is the current behavior.
• When a Package.resolved is also present, registry pins there carry an empty location, so they still don't line up with the manifest entry. That is pre-existing behavior and out of scope here.

Metrics

Occurrences of this parse error on the fossa-cli-dashboard Error patterns widget should drop to zero once this releases. In the 2026-09-04 to 2026-09-08 scan window it fired 72 times, all from CLI v3.18.2.

Checklist

• I added tests for this PR's change (or explained in the PR description why tests don't make sense).
• If this PR introduced a user-visible change, I added documentation into docs/.
• If this PR added docs, I added links as appropriate to the user manual's ToC in docs/README.ms and gave consideration to how discoverable or not my documentation is.
• If this change is externally visible, I updated Changelog.md. If this PR did not mark a release, I added my changes into an ## Unreleased section at the top.
• If I made changes to .fossa.yml or fossa-deps.{json.yml}, I updated docs/references/files/*.schema.json AND I have updated example files used by fossa init command. You may also need to update these if you have added/removed new dependency type (e.g. pip) or analysis target type (e.g. poetry).
• If I made changes to a subcommand's options, I updated docs/references/subcommands/<subcommand>.md.

Walkthrough

The Swift Package.swift parser now accepts package-registry dependencies declared with id: and applies the existing version-constraint parsing. Tests cover supported constraint forms and mixed registry, URL, and path dependencies. The changelog documents the fix.

Priority: ➖ Normal — Impact reflects medium issue severity.

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 56e82

Swift registry dependencies now parse alongside existing dependency forms, with coverage for supported version requirements. The remaining risk is limited to a test-code convention violation and does not affect parser behavior.
