fix(sbom): avoid ARG_MAX limit when uploading large SBoMs to DTrack#81
Merged
Conversation
Passing the base64-encoded SBoM as a shell --arg to jq fails with "Argument list too long" for large projects (metasearch hit this). Fixes by using jq --rawfile to read sbom.json directly, encoding with jq's @base64 filter, and piping the payload to curl via -d @- instead of a shell variable. Also strips UTF-8 BOM via ltrimstr(""). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
