Research direction

Start by tracing where vendored schemas are loaded and how the referencing store is populated. Check how the vendored-schema flag can be retained for later use. Done means base.json is vendored and injected into the registry when that flag is set, allowing offline $ref resolution.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For context:
https://github.com/SchemaStore/schemastore/pull/5381#issuecomment-3974482795

There's an internal-to-schemastore base.json. For offline usage to work, we need that schema to be available in the $ref registry.

  1. Vendor it (easy)
  2. Detect when a vendored schema is being loaded and store that information for later use (easy)
  3. Inject base.json into the registry when the "vendored schema flag" is set (easy?)

It seems simple. 🤞 that it really is!
