# Phase 13 Plan 01: Package Registry Sources Summary

**Four package registry ReconSources (npm, PyPI, crates.io, RubyGems) searching JS/Python/Rust/Ruby ecosystems for provider keyword matches**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 3 min
- **Started:** 2026-04-06T09:51:16Z
- **Completed:** 2026-04-06T09:54:00Z
- **Tasks:** 2
- **Files modified:** 8

## Accomplishments
- NpmSource searches npm registry JSON API with 20-result pagination per keyword
- PyPISource scrapes pypi.org search HTML reusing extractAnchorHrefs from Replit pattern
- CratesIOSource queries crates.io JSON API with required custom User-Agent header
- RubyGemsSource queries rubygems.org search.json with fallback URL construction
- All four sources credentialless, rate-limited, context-aware with httptest test coverage

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Implement NpmSource and PyPISource** - `4b268d1` (feat)
2. **Task 2: Implement CratesIOSource and RubyGemsSource** - `9907e24` (feat)

## Files Created/Modified
- `pkg/recon/sources/npm.go` - NpmSource searching npm registry JSON API
- `pkg/recon/sources/npm_test.go` - httptest tests for NpmSource (4 tests)
- `pkg/recon/sources/pypi.go` - PyPISource scraping pypi.org search HTML
- `pkg/recon/sources/pypi_test.go` - httptest tests for PyPISource (4 tests)
- `pkg/recon/sources/cratesio.go` - CratesIOSource with custom User-Agent
- `pkg/recon/sources/cratesio_test.go` - httptest tests verifying User-Agent header (4 tests)
- `pkg/recon/sources/rubygems.go` - RubyGemsSource searching rubygems.org JSON API
- `pkg/recon/sources/rubygems_test.go` - httptest tests for RubyGemsSource (4 tests)

## Decisions Made
- PyPI uses HTML scraping with extractAnchorHrefs (reusing Replit pattern) since PyPI has no public search JSON API
- CratesIO sets custom User-Agent header per crates.io API policy requirements
- All sources use bare keyword queries via BuildQueries default path

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered
None

## User Setup Required
None - no external service configuration required.

## Known Stubs
None - all sources fully wired with real API endpoints and functional Sweep implementations.

## Next Phase Readiness
- Four package registry sources ready for RegisterAll wiring
- Pattern established for remaining registry sources (Maven, NuGet, GoProxy)
