bom.unknown-lifecycle

What It Checks

Flags components that have no lifecycle data from any source (BOM field, lifecycle database, or supplier plugin). Unknown lifecycle status is not silently treated as safe — the absence of data is itself a supply-chain signal.

When It Fires

Fires for each populated BOM row whose lifecycle status cannot be resolved from the BOM field, the lifecycle cache, or a supplier plugin.
