+# Dependencies Guide
+
+This document describes the dependency structure of GuiInteraction and strategies for managing dependency footprint.
+
+## Dependency Overview
+
+### gi-common (Core Module)
+
+The core module includes these key dependencies:
+
+| Dependency | Purpose | Impact |
+|------------|---------|--------|
+| Apache Tika | Content-type detection | ~1MB (see below) |
+| Matrix (BOM) | Table/chart support | ~2MB |
+| CommonMark | Markdown rendering | ~200KB |
+| SLF4J API | Logging facade | ~40KB |
+
+### gi-fx, gi-swing, gi-console
+
+UI modules add minimal additional dependencies:
+- **gi-fx**: JavaFX (provided by JVM), YearMonthPicker
+- **gi-swing**: Batik (SVG), LGoodDatePicker, Swing YearMonthPicker
+- **gi-console**: JSoup (HTML parsing)
+
+## Apache Tika Dependency Impact
+
+### Why Tika?
+
+Tika provides robust MIME type detection via `getContentType()`, which is essential for:
+- Determining how to display files (image vs SVG vs document)
+- Validating file uploads
+- Content-aware processing
+
+### Optimized Configuration
+
+GuiInteraction uses **only `tika-core`** (~1MB) instead of the full `tika-parsers-standard-package`
+(~50MB with 100+ transitive dependencies). This is sufficient because:
+
+- The library only uses `Tika.detect(file)` for MIME type detection
+- `tika-core` provides detection via file extension mapping and magic bytes
+- Full parsers (POI, PDFBox, etc.) are not needed for content-type detection
+
+**Result:** Fat JARs are **11-15MB** instead of ~60MB.
+
+### Adding Full Tika Parsers (If Needed)
+
+If your application needs full document parsing capabilities (e.g., extracting text from
+PDFs or Office documents), add the full parser package:
+
+```groovy
+dependencies {
+    implementation 'se.alipsa.gi:gi-common:0.2.0'
+    // Add full Tika parsers for document content extraction
+    implementation 'org.apache.tika:tika-parsers-standard-package:3.2.3'
+}
+```
+
+This adds support for:
+- Office documents (via Apache POI)
+- PDFs (via Apache PDFBox)
+- Audio/video metadata
+- Archive formats
+- And 100+ other formats
+
+### Fat JAR for Standalone Scripts
+
+The fat JARs (`gi-swing-fatjar`, `gi-fx-fatjar`, etc.) include all dependencies
+and are designed for standalone Groovy scripts:
+
+```groovy
+@Grab(group:'se.alipsa.gi', module:'gi-swing', version:'0.2.0', classifier:'fatjar')
+import se.alipsa.gi.swing.InOut
+```
+
+### Dependency Tree
+
+To see the full dependency tree:
+
+```bash
+./gradlew :gi-common:dependencies --configuration runtimeClasspath
+```
+
+## Security Scanning
+
+### OWASP Dependency Check
+
+The project includes the OWASP Dependency Check plugin to scan for known vulnerabilities (CVEs):
+
+```bash
+# Run security scan
+./gradlew dependencyCheckAnalyze
+
+# View report
+open build/reports/dependency-check-report.html
+```
+
+Configuration in `build.gradle`:
+- Fails build on CVSS score >= 7.0 (HIGH/CRITICAL)
+- Generates HTML and JSON reports
+- Supports suppression file for false positives
+
+### Suppressing False Positives
+
+Create `config/owasp-suppressions.xml` to suppress known false positives:
+
+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+<suppressions xmlns="https://jeremylong.github.io/DependencyCheck/dependency-suppression.1.3.xsd">
+    <suppress>
+        <notes>Example: False positive for internal package</notes>
+        <packageUrl regex="true">^pkg:maven/com\.example/.*$</packageUrl>
+        <cve>CVE-XXXX-XXXXX</cve>
+    </suppress>
+</suppressions>
+```
+
+### Keeping Dependencies Updated
+
+Check for available updates:
+
+```bash
+./gradlew dependencyUpdates
+```
+
+## Version Compatibility
+
+| GuiInteraction | Java | Groovy | JavaFX |
+|----------------|------|--------|--------|
+| 0.2.x | 21+ | 5.0.x | 21-23 |
+| 0.1.x | 17+ | 4.0.x | 17-21 |
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+The GitHub Actions workflow includes a separate `dependency-check` job that runs on a schedule or manual workflow dispatch:
+
+```yaml
+dependency-check:
+  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+  if: github.event_name == 'schedule' || github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch'
+
+  steps:
+    - name: Check for dependency updates
+      run: ./gradlew dependencyUpdates
+```
+
+This approach keeps regular CI builds fast while still providing periodic dependency monitoring.
