pyartcd: temporarily disable payload verification in promote pipeline

[ashwindasr]

Summary

• Temporarily comments out the verify_payload call in _run_pipeline to unblock the 4.20.34 promote
• The check was failing because assisted-installer-ui-container is missing from the advisory
• Adds an INFO log message so the skip is visible in pipeline output

Test plan

• All 38 existing promote pipeline unit tests pass (uv run pytest pyartcd/tests/pipelines/test_promote.py)

Walkthrough

The promotion flow no longer verifies payload imagestreams against advisory builds. It logs that payload verification is temporarily disabled for all image advisory and shipment configurations.

Changes

Promotion verification

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Disable payload imagestream verification pyartcd/pyartcd/pipelines/promote.py	The promotion flow skips verify_payload and logs that payload verification is temporarily disabled.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to 7f0fc

The change skips payload verification across all promotions, which could publish release images that do not match their advisory builds. It is not merge-ready until the bypass is limited to the approved 4.20.34 case or an equivalent explicit flag, with coverage for both bypassed and verified paths.

Restrict the bypass to the approved 4.20.34 promotion.

Line 438 documents a 4.20.34 workaround, but Lines 439-443 remove the condition and Line 444 skips verification for every promotion. PromotePipeline.verify_payload rejects missing_in_advisory and payload_advisory_mismatch before promote() runs. This change can publish release images whose imagestream contents do not match their advisory builds.

Restore verification for other releases. Guard the temporary bypass with an explicit allow-list or feature flag for the exact 4.20.34 assembly or release. Add tests for both paths.
