docs: document dependency chain for transitive SCA findings#2681
Conversation
SCA findings now display the dependency chain — the ordered path from a direct dependency down to the vulnerable transitive package — so users can identify which direct dependency to update. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Code Review
This pull request updates the documentation in docs/organizations/managing-security-and-risk.md to explain how Codacy displays the dependency chain for transitive dependency findings. The reviewer suggested adding a concrete inline example of a dependency chain to make the explanation clearer and more actionable for users.

The dependency chain displays on SRM dependency findings generally, not only in the SCA management subsection. Relocate the paragraph and screenshot to the Findings card description. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
What
Adds one paragraph to the SCA findings section of Managing security and risk documenting the new dependency chain display for transitive dependency findings.
The finding now shows the ordered path from a direct (top-level) dependency in the manifest down to the vulnerable transitive package — e.g.
npm/@codacy/codacy-mcp@0.6.19 → npm/@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.25.2 → npm/ajv-formats@3.0.1 → npm/ajv@8.17.1 → npm/fast-uri@3.1.0— so users can identify which direct dependency to update.Scope

No screenshot was embedded. The reference screenshot for the feature was not available as a file in this environment. If the dependency-chain UI should be shown with an image, point me at the PNG and I'll add it.
