Generate an online catalog from explicitly selected repository IDs and store it as plain JSON. Index exact NEVRA matches, preserve repository-to-CPE metadata for offline scanning, and keep the catalog proof of concept free of a second database format.
Add catalog generation CLI wiring and scan-time enrichment. Configure Claircore with a local repository mapping, validate catalog compatibility, and attach exact-NEVRA CPEs only to the matching package environments before vulnerability matching.
Keep the catalog regression test and local fixtures in the shared branch without including the private VM reproducer documentation. The test still proves the exact krb5-libs NEVRA is missed without repository CPE context and reported after catalog enrichment.

After doing some playing on my RHEL boxes, seems you can't get info for other arches. So I propose we drop this and send the arch we running on to the catalog creator.

Should be required? Can make not required for RHEL?

I don't think you can get info from other RHEL versions info. Is this even needed?
