I wonder if we can abstract some of these functions to be able to run some of them without the actual build - we want to generate BOM (Bill of materials) before building the image and e.g. for verification builds we generate them twice (for base metadata, then with verification changes applied) and generate diff. I've implemented this as separate task which traverse the dependency tree from the image we're going to build and writes all interesting metadata in JSON.
