Hi there,

I have an image created through `mender-artifact write rootfs-image` directly from a golden Raspberry Pi 4 device running Bullseye. This automatically creates a .mender artifact that I can then deploy to the mender server and onto the device. I’m wondering if there’s a way to slip in state scripts that run when the artifact is installed? `mender-artifact modify` doesn’t seem to have anything.
