Observed symptom
Global mode can't see any Deno global install: the npm packages under $DENO_DIR/npm/registry.npmjs.org are never crawled, so scan -g misses them and Deno 2.9's per-tool node_modules gets patched and VEX-attested while the tool runs the unpatched copy [agent] Found by the scheduled Deno bug-hunt routine (ledger #308).
