Description
Before open sourcing Component Detection we used `BCDE` as an internal name. It stands for `Base Component Detection Executable`. Now it's no longer relevant and could be confusing for people new to the codebase.
We should replace this with `Component Detection`, `CD`, or remove it entirely as appropriate.
