Description

This is a companion feature request to #7616.

If we would gain the ability to get the correct architecture image for multi-architecture sources, it would be nice to know that we don't run into collisions.

Therefore, it would be nice that if we have a process.arch specified (possibly fitting a whitelist that cause it to be forwarded to the pull command as per #7616), it's desirable that (some form of) the architecture is included in the cached image name.

Research direction

Start by reading companion issue #7616 and tracing the Singularity/Apptainer pull command and cached image-name handling. Follow how a specified process.arch could be validated and forwarded, then define how the architecture is included in cached names so supported multi-architecture images do not collide.
