📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds ADR 016 for signed OCM CTF catalog and rollout transport over removable media. It defines verification, registry import, Solar Discovery, FluxCD verification, and two air-gapped delivery workflows. ChangesAir-gapped catalog delivery
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR adds an air-gapped catalog workflow, but the current documentation can allow an unverified or incomplete catalog to be imported, may describe an unsigned archive, and obscures a key network-isolation boundary. These security and integrity risks should be corrected before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)Ship-the-catalog workflowsequenceDiagram

In `@docs/developer-guide/adrs/016-airgapped-catalog-chaining.md`:
- Around line 47-49: Update ADR 016 to distinguish removable-media air gaps from
one-way network data-diode deployments: either remove data-diode support from
the decision, or define a separate diode security model with its own threat
model and controls. Align all related diagrams and scope statements with the
chosen model.
- Around line 92-96: Update the Decision Outcome text to scope the ADR 013
“unchanged” destination-registry model explicitly to the primary
ship-the-catalog pattern; clarify that the alternative registry-and-FluxCD
pattern does not include a Solar catalog.
In `@docs/developer-guide/adrs/img/016-airgap-ship-the-catalog.mmd`:
- Around line 28-32: Update both air-gapped workflows to include an explicit
signature-verification gate before registry import: in
docs/developer-guide/adrs/img/016-airgap-ship-the-catalog.mmd lines 28-32 and
docs/developer-guide/adrs/img/016-airgap-render-then-transport.mmd lines 32-36,
show verification followed by rejection on failure and import only on successful
verification.

OCM public-key provisioning and rotation, and require running “ocm verify cv”
for every component version before “ocm transfer” imports the archive. Align the
corresponding verification steps in both referenced procedure sections and
update both Mermaid diagrams to show component-descriptor verification rather
than archive-signature verification.

In `@docs/developer-guide/adrs/016-airgapped-catalog-chaining.md`:
- Around line 186-192: Expand the “Alternative pattern — render then transport”
section to define the render-then-transport artifact contract: specify how each
per-target rendered component/resource is represented in the OCM CTF, which OCI
repository path it is published to, and how the destination-local OCIRepository
references it using an immutable tag or digest.
- Around line 72-78: Update the airgapped catalog chaining ADR to specify that
export uses `ocm transfer cv --copy-resources --recursive` or equivalent
explicit transfer settings, and document how FluxCD resolves embedded deployment
references against the destination registry because OCM does not rewrite them.
Add a confirmation test verifying deployed workloads require neither the source
registry nor any other external registry.

- Around line 55-58: Add a signed export manifest or root descriptor to the
air-gapped catalog workflow that enumerates all expected component versions, and
require the destination to validate it and reject any missing entries before
import. Update the completeness claims near the catalog promise and
corresponding later section; if no completeness mechanism is implemented,
explicitly limit the guarantee to authenticity of received components.
- Around line 150-157: Update the export/signing sequence in the ADR so
signatures are applied to component versions in the source repository before
export, or to the exported CTF repository before final archive creation; make
clear that the CTF blob itself is not signed. Define a completeness check that
validates the archive contains the full expected catalog and dependency closure
in addition to running `ocm verify cv`, and align the documented contract with
producing a signed, complete CTF.
