"""
Standalone tool to sign existing release images with Sigstore/cosign.
Standalone tool to sign existing release images (and optionally the component
images they reference) with Sigstore/cosign.

This tool can sign release payloads (manifest lists or single manifests) that
already exist in quay.io. It reuses the SigstoreSignatory class for signing logic.

By default, only TAG-BASED signatures are created (digest signatures are skipped).
This is appropriate for retroactive signing where digest signatures already exist.
For release images, only TAG-BASED signatures are created by default (digest
signatures are skipped). This is appropriate for retroactive signing where digest
signatures already exist. Use --sign-digest to also create digest signatures.

Use --sign-release to control what gets signed:
yes (default) sign the release image(s) and the components they reference
only sign only the release image(s)
no sign only the referenced component images

This seems workable, although personally --sign-release no seems a bit awkward as a way to say "sign only the referenced component images. Maybe pivot to --sign (release|release-image|component-images) or some such that avoids going boolean-ish? Or just leave it as you have it, because I expect folks to run this command very rarely, so there's not much value in polishing its interface.

Yeah, I agree it is a bit awkward. This being the existing choice in sigstore pipeline makes it a familiar pattern -

type=click.Choice(("yes", "no", "only")),
so I'll leave it as is for now.


Referenced component images are discovered by spidering each release payload with
`oc adm release info -o json` and are always signed with digest identity only.
NOTE: `oc adm release info` on a `-multi` pullspec only returns one arch's
references, so to sign all referenced images across every architecture, pass the

This isn't true, multi referenced images are themselves are themselves manifest lists. So pick one arch, get the referenced manifest lists, and then head out to the single-arch shards to sign.

Pinning this down more exactly, by explicitly comparing two shards of that release image:

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fail when input cleaning removes every pullspec.

If every supplied value is blank or a comment, cleaned is empty and the tool logs success with exit code 0. Return an error after cleaning so automation does not treat a no-op signing run as successful.

This all-discovery-first approach surprises me, although it can clearly work. It might be easier to think about if we keep sign_release_pullspec (and generalize the name to sign_release?) and pass through a mutable set of already-signed-this-round referenced images. Then that per-release function can get that release all signed up, without needing to wait on discovery having walked all the other releases that we were planning to sign. And if walking a later release turned up a referenced image we'd already signed when processing an earlier release, we'd see the entry in the shared, mutable set, and realize we didn't need to double-up on the signature.
