Description

It would be nice to be able to read images piped from stdin to be able to chain commands without storing intermediate files on the local filesystem.

Example usage:

docker buildx build -o type=docker,dest=- . | docker scout cves archive://stdin
docker buildx build -o type=docker,dest=- . | docker scout quickview archive://-
docker buildx build -o type=docker,dest=- . | docker scout recommendations -

Research direction

Start by tracing how the Docker Scout commands named in the examples accept archive inputs and how their input sources are selected. Test the shown pipelines, including archive://stdin and archive://-, and consider the work done when the documented commands process piped images without intermediate files.
