Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how requests currently gather image data across services, then define completion around incremental results: required validation before image details, basic data before the full SBOM, and validation of other architectures where needed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Getting the full result takes lots of requests from different services.

How to refactor the library so that basic information can be retrieved quickly and the result is updated as more info becomes available.

Some info is always needed. For example, signatures need to be validated before anything can be shown about the image. Otoh, full SBOM does not need to be loaded before more basic data can be already shown.

Usually, only one architecture is shown at a time, but we still need to do validation of other architectures as well for some fields so that user doesn't make assumptions about other architectures if they are very different.
