Vendoring, vendored packages, or bundling, all seems to mean "we copied in the code we rely on, because we don't really trust the package management system / its dependencies to not break our builds / running system over time"


Sometimes combined with 'dependency isolation' to avoid other packages leaking in and causing trouble.

If you are doing that consistently, what you are doing amounts to an app image.
