Adds terraform as a local type, following the definition proposed in package-url/purl-spec#889, the way bsd follows purl-spec#496.

Without it MakePURLString("terraform", "hashicorp/random", "3.6.0") escapes the slash: pkg:terraform/hashicorp%2Frandom@3.6.0. git-pkgs/proxy#688 (a Terraform provider mirror) builds its PURLs with purl.New to get around that; with this change it can use the shared helpers.

Changes

• types.json: terraform with namespace_requirement: required and default_registry: https://registry.terraform.io, from the draft definition.
• splitNamespace splits a Terraform address without its hostname at its last slash:
  • provider hashicorp/random → pkg:terraform/hashicorp/random
  • module hashicorp/consul/aws → pkg:terraform/hashicorp/consul/aws, which is how the existing parse tests already read it (namespace hashicorp/consul, name aws)
  • a name without a namespace, with a leading slash or with an empty segment returns "", since the type requires a namespace
• Names keep their case, as the draft marks them case-sensitive.
• spec_test.go lists the local type allowance, and the README describes it next to bsd.

The draft's module example (pkg:terraform/terraform-aws-modules/vpc@6.0.1) leaves the target system out. This change doesn't decide that; it only keeps the module form the parser already accepts.

Tests

TestBuildPURLString and TestBuildPURLStringMatchesMakePURL cover a provider, a module, case, the default registry being dropped, another registry kept as repository_url, and the rejected names. TestIsKnownType, TestDefaultRegistry and TestNamespaceRequirement include the type. The new split was mutation-checked.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added support for Terraform provider and module package URLs, including namespace parsing and validation.
  • Set https://registry.terraform.io as the default registry, with support for alternate registries such as OpenTofu.

Walkthrough

The PURL type metadata now includes Terraform providers and modules. Terraform addresses split at the final slash when building PURLs. Tests and documentation cover the type, registry behavior, and address handling.

Changes: Terraform PURL support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Terraform type metadata ecosystem.go, types.json, types_test.go, spec_test.go, README.md	The type metadata and tests recognize Terraform, set https://registry.terraform.io as its default registry, and require a namespace. The documentation describes provider and module mappings.
Address parsing and PURL output makepurl.go, makepurl_test.go	Terraform identifiers split at the final slash. Tests cover provider and module PURLs, case preservation, default and OpenTofu registry handling, invalid addresses, and matching BuildPURLString and MakePURL output.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 3b451

This adds Terraform PURL support with required namespace validation and default registry handling. The earlier edge case with malformed slash-only addresses is fixed and covered by tests, and no merge-blocking risk remains.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 3b451

The change is confined to package identifier construction and metadata, without adding network access or privileges. Risk is concentrated in compatibility: Terraform identifiers previously produced by the shared helpers will change, and malformed names will now be rejected.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The directly affected security-relevant output is Terraform package identity returned to callers. The reviewed construction path adds no network, filesystem, credential, or authorization operation. Any effect on downstream identity stores or policy decisions depends on consumers outside this checkout and remains unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Registry suppression is identifier canonicalization, not registry authentication. The unchanged comparator matches the default hostname or its subdomains and does not distinguish URL schemes, ports, or paths. Adding Terraform metadata activates that existing behavior for Terraform; alternative hostnames retain a repository_url qualifier.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Add the terraform type proposed in purl-spec#889" names the main change: adding the local terraform PURL type that follows the draft purl-spec#889. The changeset adds the type to types.json, the ecosystem constant, the splitTerraform namespace logic, and the tests, so the title matches the primary change. It is specific and does not use vague terms.

- Line 279: Update the namespace validation guard used by BuildPURLString to
reject leading slashes and empty address segments before normalization, so
inputs such as //random and hashicorp//random fail instead of producing a PURL;
add regression cases for both inputs.
