Description

currently CVE json (`static/projects/*/CVE-*.cve.json`) is not generated deterministically: the key ordering may be unpredictable. This makes regenerating the site and only spotting the actual differences harder

Research direction

Start by locating the command or entry point that generates static/projects/*/CVE-*.cve.json, then inspect how advisory keys are assembled. Regenerate a representative advisory and verify that repeated generation preserves key ordering and produces no unrelated differences.
