### **OCI Specification Compliance**

#### **Image Structure**
- **Schema Version**: 2
- **Media Types**: 
  - `application/vnd.oci.image.config.v1+json`
  - `application/vnd.oci.image.layer.v1.tar+gzip`
  - `application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+json`
- **Digest Algorithm**: SHA256
- **Layer Compression**: Gzip

#### **Image Formats**

**OCI Format:**
```
my-image.oci/
├── index.json          # Image index
├── blobs/
│   └── sha256/
│       ├── abc123...   # Config blob
│       └── def456...   # Layer blob
└── manifest.json       # Image manifest
```

**Docker Format:**
```
my-image.tar
├── manifest.json       # Docker manifest
├── config.json         # Image config
└── layer.tar.gz        # Compressed layer
```

## **Usage Examples**

### **Basic OCI Image Generation**

```bash
# Build OCI image from OSTree commit
apt-ostree oci build --source test/oci/integration --output my-image.oci --format oci

# Build Docker image from OSTree commit
apt-ostree oci build --source test/oci/integration --output my-image.tar --format docker
```

### **Compose Workflow Integration**

```bash
# Create deployment and build OCI image
apt-ostree compose create --base ubuntu:24.04 --packages nginx --output my-deployment
apt-ostree compose build-image my-deployment my-image:latest --format oci
```

### **Registry Operations**

```bash
# Push image to registry
apt-ostree oci push my-image.oci myregistry.com my-image:latest

# Pull image from registry
apt-ostree oci pull myregistry.com my-image:latest my-image.oci

# Inspect image
apt-ostree oci inspect my-image.oci

# Validate image
apt-ostree oci validate my-image.oci
```

### **Format Conversion**

```bash
# Convert OCI to Docker format
apt-ostree oci convert my-image.oci my-image.tar docker

# Convert Docker to OCI format
apt-ostree oci convert my-image.tar my-image.oci oci
```

## **Dependencies**

        assert_eq!(options.format, "oci");
        assert_eq!(options.max_layers, 64);
    }

    #[tokio::test]
    async fn test_oci_config_generation() {
        let options = OciBuildOptions::default();
        let builder = OciImageBuilder::new(options).await.unwrap();
        let config = builder.generate_oci_config("test-commit").await.unwrap();
        
        assert_eq!(config.architecture, "amd64");
        assert_eq!(config.os, "linux");
    }
}
```
