Description

In a normal, long-lived TUF PKI, 1.root.json expires and a new 2.root.json is generated that is self-signed and signed by keys in 1.root.json. To allow for upgrading into the new root, 1.root.json is also shipped with the repo.

Write a test with this scenario to ensure we can ship a repository with both a 1.root.json and 2.root.json.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing Rust tests and repository-generation entry points for TUF root metadata. Reproduce the scenario with both 1.root.json and 2.root.json, including the self-signature and prior-root signatures, and verify that the repository can be shipped and upgraded with both roots present.
