Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating vendordep JSON parsing and the code paths that access required keys, then inspect how malformed or incomplete input currently produces the NPE. Done means invalid vendordep files produce a clear diagnostic instead of an NPE, with coverage for missing or incorrect keys.
