Summary

Documents the Global Locations deduplication algorithm (Pro) and clarifies how it relates to Global Component, so each mode's purpose is clear.

Global Locations deduplicates Findings across all Products on a shared location — a URL (compared on the configured endpoint fields) or a dependency (by full Package URL). It is the location-model successor to Global Component: it keys dependencies on the exact purl and additionally deduplicates URL/DAST Findings, which Global Component cannot.

Changes (docs only)

  • New: PRO__global_locations_deduplication.md — what it is, the Locations requirement, enabling, same/cross-tool configuration, the Location Types selection, how matching works (non-vacuous overlap; empty DEDUPE_ALGO_ENDPOINT_FIELDS disables URL matching), an example, cross-product visibility, reverting, and a Global Component vs. Global Locations comparison table.
  • Updated: about_deduplication.md — troubleshooting rows for URL/DAST and SCA cross-product cases pointing at the new page.
  • Updated: PRO__global_component_deduplication.md — reciprocal "vs. Global Locations" callout.

No code changes.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Add a Pro docs page for the Global Locations deduplication algorithm
(cross-product deduplication on a shared URL or dependency by Package
URL), with a comparison to Global Component so each mode's purpose is
clear. Cross-link the two pages and add troubleshooting entries for
URL/DAST and SCA cross-product cases.
