Research direction

The issue is a work in progress and does not identify files, tests, or an implementation entry point. Start by reviewing the linked SBOM prior art and the Heads modules/* SBOM spreadsheet; the work is done when the required Heads SBOM scope and implementation plan are defined clearly enough for a pull request.
