      The Kyverno CLI provides a command-line interface for applying and
      testing Kyverno policies against Kubernetes resources outside of a
      cluster. It can be used in CI/CD pipelines to validate resources
      before deployment, run policy tests, and interact with JMESPath
      expressions used in policy rules.

      The Kyverno Policy Reporter REST API provides endpoints for querying
      PolicyReport and ClusterPolicyReport custom resources generated by
      Kyverno. It exposes policy results, status counts, and resource-level
      violation data, and serves as the backend for the Policy Reporter UI.
