+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+- Transitive Dependency Analysis (MVP)
+  - Recursive resolution of nested dependencies via PyPI metadata
+  - Cycle detection and depth limiting to prevent runaway scans
+  - New `--transitive` / `-t` flag for the `scan` command
+  - New `--depth` / `-d` option to control recursion depth
+  - Enhanced CLI output with `[direct]` vs `[transitive]` labels
+  - Visible dependency paths for nested packages (e.g., `pkg-a → pkg-b → risky-pkg`)
+  - Integration of transitive analysis into the FastAPI `/scan` endpoint
+
 ## [0.1.0] — 2026-05-06
