Artifact delivery and audit evidence currently meet in different places.
Build systems need fast dependency retrieval while supply chain engineers need a durable record of what was served.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Our security review asked what the build pulled last Tuesday, and I had to chase three separate records.”
Antti Koskinen · Software Supply Chain Engineer
Maintains centralized dependency controls and must provide evidence of what production builds consumed.
What is at stake
Pilot buyers cannot tie a downloaded dependency to one usable verification record today. You have to weigh audit-ready evidence against a registry response path developers depend on.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- audit evidence vs retrieval latency
- precise security claims vs simple API responses
- repository integration vs shared platform reuse
- pilot learning speed vs durable API compatibility
Why Chainguard
Chainguard Libraries serves rebuilt dependencies whose source and controls must remain visible to enterprise software development teams.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
