The manifest pipeline is producing buildable images that fail where customers run them.
Fast package updates protect patch cadence, while runtime validation protects the reliability of the images delivered.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My developers are asking why the patched image still isn't in the registry this morning.”

What is at stake
Generated manifests are failing runtime validation, delaying updated images for common workloads. You must weigh a targeted correction against rolling back prompt improvements that other packages use.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- patch cadence vs runtime confidence
- targeted correction vs broad rollback
- automation coverage vs manual maintenance
- shared pipeline stability vs local recovery
