 ECR may omit its optional severity-count map for a clean image. That response is accepted only after the same completion/freshness checks, with an exact registry/repository/digest match, explicitly empty findings lists, and no remaining page. An absent summary without that evidence, nonempty findings without a summary, or malformed counts fails closed. This requires no additional IAM permissions or changes to registry scanning. See the [ECR response schema](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/latest/APIReference/API_ImageScanFindings.html).
 
+Enhanced scanning also requires `inspector2:ListFindings` and `inspector2:ListCoverage` in the deployment role, its permissions boundary, and the STS session policy. The generated role policy limits these read-only actions to the deployment region. AWS does not support repository-level resource restrictions for these Inspector list actions, so they can read account-wide scan metadata in that region. No Inspector configuration/write actions or parameter/secret access are granted. Existing roles and boundaries must be updated through the private infrastructure repository before adopting this change. See [AWS enhanced-scanning permissions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/latest/userguide/image-scanning-enhanced-iam.html).
+
 Use a unique CircleCI build number when retrying publication to immutable tags. A failed rollout remains a failure even if ECS rolls back. The script never blindly reverts over another deployment.
