Replace the use of package.source (opaque/unstable) with package.id (stable pkgid spec) for extracting VCS URLs from git dependencies. - Add extract_git_url_from_id helper in purl.rs that strips the #name@version fragment and ?branch=/?tag=/?rev= query params from the pkgid, returning a clean git+proto://host/path URL - Use the helper in get_purl for the PURL vcs_url qualifier, replacing the previous source_to_vcs_url function - Use the helper in get_external_references as a fallback when package.repository is absent on git dependencies - Update git_package.json fixture to use the new pkgid format package.source is explicitly documented as opaque and unstable by the cargo_metadata crate. package.id (the pkgid spec) is the stable alternative. On Rust 1.77+ the pkgid format for git deps is: git+proto://host/path[?query]#name@version. The fragment contains name@version (not a commit hash like package.source does), so the output no longer includes commit hashes. This was recommended by the maintainer in PR CycloneDX#777.
