If referrer API not supported and referrers need to be updated, oras-go will 1) update the referrer index and 2) cleanup the dangling one.

oras-go/registry/remote/repository.go

Lines 1271 to 1276 in 336b9fb

// 4. delete the dangling original referrers index
if !skipDelete {
if err := s.repo.delete(ctx, oldIndexDesc, true); err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("failed to delete dangling referrers index %s for referrers tag %s: %w", oldIndexDesc.Digest.String(), referrersTag, err)
}
}

It would be great if oras-go can expose a certain typed error when the cleanup operation fails, so caller client can decide whether to terminate, or ignore the error, or do ad-hoc garbage collection on caller side.
