Description

By example: A plugin may want to check signatures on packages (say RPM or Debian packages) during the sync process, but when artifacts are downloaded they are quickly shipped off to the storage backend afterwards, which may be Azure/S3. There should be a way for plugins to define checks on downloaded artifacts (and also content) prior to putting them in storage, because accessing them afterwards would incur extra financial and performance cost.

Research direction

Start by tracing the sync pipeline from plugin interaction through artifact and content download to the storage backend. Identify existing extension points and how plugins access downloaded data before storage. Done would mean an agreed design and implementation path for pre-storage checks that avoids an extra storage read.
