Description

https://github.com/oxidecomputer/omicron/pull/7519 modifies the transaction that adds TUF repo metadata to the database, adding a generation number that is used to assist in replicating artifacts. I'm not sure if this transaction will be retried in all cases.

Start by reviewing PR #7519 and the linked discussion, then trace the transaction that adds TUF repository metadata to the database. Determine whether transaction retries cover every relevant failure case and document the concrete gap or confirm that retry behavior is complete.
