Description
Summary
WizCLISuite.run() (posit-bakery/posit_bakery/plugins/builtin/wizcli/suite.py) runs subprocess.run(...) serially in a for loop — one wizcli scan per image target. Like hadolint, this is a plain cmd: list[str] subprocess call and a good fit for the tool-agnostic posit_bakery/parallel/ module (ParallelShellExecutor/ShellTask) introduced in #588.
Scope
- Port
WizCLISuite.run()to buildShellTasks fromself.wizcli_commandsand dispatch throughParallelShellExecutor, following the pattern inplugins/builtin/dgoss/suite.py. - Add a
--jobs/-jflag to the wizcli scan command, matching thedgoss run --jobsconvention. - Preserve existing per-target report parsing (
WizScanReport.load), verbose-conditional stderr capture, and error aggregation (BakeryWizCLIError,WIZCLI_EXIT_CODE_POLICY_VIOLATIONhandling) exactly as-is; only the dispatch mechanism changes. - Update/extend the live progress table behavior to match dgoss.
Out of scope
- Changing wizcli scan policy or report contents.
Part of the investigation started in #584. See #588 for the reference implementation pattern (dgoss).

Research direction
Start with posit_bakery/plugins/builtin/wizcli/suite.py and compare its run() flow with plugins/builtin/dgoss/suite.py; then read the posit_bakery/parallel/ module and the wizcli scan command entry point. Done means scans use the parallel executor with a --jobs/-j option, progress matches dgoss, and report parsing, stderr handling, and error aggregation remain unchanged.
