Research direction

Start by reading #2179 and tracing how OCIRepository.status.sourceVerificationFingerprint is updated when .spec.verify references a Secret. Then investigate the controller's 24-hour key refresh path for keyless cosign with public Sigstore infrastructure. The issue is done when a feasible approach to refresh the fingerprint in that case is identified; the issue names no specific files or tests.

Description

area/oci enhancement

#2179 Introduced OCIRepository.status.sourceVerificationFingerprint for triggering a reconciliation when verification material has changed. This is supported if any of the .spec.verify Secret references are being used, but not when both are unset (keyless cosign with public sigstore infra). The reason is the complexity to implement this. The controller only refreshes the key once every 24h and it's hard to tap into it. Research is needed for this.
