Description

Part of #453. Depends on the signing-method spike (linked sub-issue) for exact flag/mechanism design.

Add flag(s) to bakery build to enable build provenance and SBOM generation/signing for pushed images, wired into bake target generation in posit_bakery/image/bake/bake.py. Only meaningful when pushing (--push); no-op on --load builds.

Research direction

Start with the signing-method spike linked from the issue to understand the pending flag and mechanism design. Then inspect posit_bakery/image/bake/bake.py and the bakery build entry point to trace target generation. Done means the chosen flags enable provenance and SBOM generation/signing for pushed images and remain no-ops for --load builds.
