Summary
contributor,contributors, andx_contributorsarrays as explicit authorship credits in validated JSON and YAML metadata.namefield.Issues
Scope and exclusions
How to verify
provenant --copyright --json out.json perl-5.38.4. Relative to fix(copyright): extract YAML author arrays #1407, this adds 16 explicit contributor records across eight CPAN metadata files with no removals and no copyright/holder changes. The InfoZIP 3.0 control scan is unchanged in all three fields.cpan/CPAN-Meta/corpus/CL018_yaml.meta: Provenant recovers seven explicitly listed contributors that ScanCode omits.scan/package.json: its root npm contributor roster is now reflected in file, global, key-file, facet, detail, and parent-directory author tallies; nested package inventory authors remain excluded.Intentional differences from Python

tallies.expected.json,tallies_details.expected.json,tallies_key_files.expected.json, andtallies_by_facet.expected.jsonundertestdata/summarycode-golden/tallies/full_tallies/.contributorsarray with 291 accepted independent names. The updated author-only facets record those intentional detections and their derived tallies; structural tests separately prove nested package inventories do not leak authors.
