# Secure Image Build

Treat every official development push as public and irreversible. Use one
official namespace: `ghcr.io/nebius/nebius-physical-ai/<image>`. Tag reviewed
development bytes `dev-<full-git-sha>` and promote only that exact digest to the
supported release tag.

## Load The Governing Procedures

Read and follow these before acting; do not duplicate their detailed commands:

- `skills/atomic/solution-licensing/SKILL.md`
- `skills/atomic/build-and-push-image/SKILL.md`
- `skills/workflows/contribute-workbench-image/SKILL.md`
- `skills/atomic/third-party-eula-preflight/SKILL.md`
- `skills/atomic/testing-conventions/SKILL.md`
- `docs/workbench/container-packaging.md`

For live validation also load `skills/atomic/gpu-selection/SKILL.md`,
`skills/atomic/submit-workflow/SKILL.md`, and
`skills/atomic/protect-nebius-infra-details/SKILL.md`.

## Mandatory Sequence

1. Resolve the exact checked-out commit. Require a full 40-character Git SHA
   and the immutable tag `dev-<full-git-sha>`; refuse moving or abbreviated
   development tags.
2. Require `redistribution: public` in
   `npa/docker/workbench/packaging-contract.yaml` and check the current restriction
   inventories in `npa/src/npa/deploy/images.py`. Hard-refuse `restricted` images
   from every official GHCR tag; resolve any disagreement between those sources
   before publication. Read current eligibility and quarantine state from those
   sources, rather than treating a historical product example as a fixed inventory.
   The supported `cosmos3-serving` release is bound to its accepted,
   payload-scanned and GPU-validated digest; historical restricted bytes remain
   prohibited. Future development bytes must pass the sequence below.
3. Before any public push, run the repository packaging/license guards and
   inspect the locally built artifact, including layers, history, and OCI config.
   Refuse credentials, secrets, customer data, live infrastructure identifiers,
   gated weights/data, proprietary SDK/runtime payloads, or cached EULA
   acceptance anywhere in the artifact.
4. Require policy-approved, digest-pinned bases/dependencies or an existing
   documented packaging exception. Enforce the non-root runtime and packaging
   contract. When SkyPilot needs the bootstrap contract, prove the behavior and
   exact OCI attestation; never add the label without the proof.
5. Produce the SBOM and run the repository-supported vulnerability, secret,
   license, payload, revision/provenance, and bootstrap checks. Do not push the
   public development tag until every pre-publication gate passes.
6. Push with explicit `packages: write`, then resolve the tag once to its OCI
   digest. Verify revision/provenance and SBOM attestations, rerun exact-digest
   payload/security checks, and prove an anonymous pull without ambient auth.
7. Run the real functional workflow on a compatible physical GPU using the
   immutable development digest. An import, startup, or CUDA-availability check
   is not functional evidence.
8. Promote only the validated digest to the supported public release tag through
   `npa.deploy.publish_public`. Verify anonymous pullability and exact digest
   identity independently after promotion; record the exact digest identity in
   `public_release_manifest.json`. Scheduled health must compare the release tag
   anonymously with that `published_digest`, without depending on dev-tag retention.
9. On failure, delete only the exact run-owned development version after
   matching package, tag, and digest. Never infer ownership from a name or delete
   a shared/release digest. Record that deletion cannot revoke prior downloads.
   Retain a successful dev tag only when the documented release policy requires
   it to preserve the release's shared digest/provenance.

## Verify What A Scanner Actually Reads

A successful scanner exit proves only its configured coverage. Check the pinned
implementation for base-layer, binary, extension, size, and chunk exclusions.
Trivy's secret scanner can exclude base layers and binary files; a file-oriented
Gitleaks invocation is not automatically a complete-byte check either. Keep the
mandatory vulnerability, secret, license, and payload gates, and record their
limits accurately.

For an additional complete-byte check, bind the exact saved-image hash, OCI
config and ordered layers, scanner policy and dependencies, and observed byte
and file counts. Read every ancestor layer, including files deleted later, plus
archive metadata and padding. Unaccounted bytes, malformed archives, missing
confidentiality configuration, unfinished child processes, and incomplete counts
must fail the check. Keep matches and input policy private; investigate each
finding against exact bytes and provenance before publication. A public upstream
filename alone is not proof that a match is harmless.

Distinguish reading embedded archives as stored from inspecting their unpacked
members. The current complete-byte core does the former; supplemental source
fixture review must state its actual unpacking coverage. An extracted member's
hash cannot approve its compressed parent. Preserve exact record kinds and
finding populations when applying reviewed content-bound policy; unsupported
kinds and unresolved semantics remain unresolved, not new scanner exceptions.

## Refusal Conditions

Stop before publication if any mandatory evidence is missing, a scan is
unavailable or inconclusive, the source commit/tag is mutable, redistribution is
not public, the pushed digest differs from the inspected artifact, anonymous
pull verification fails, or real GPU validation has not passed. Never weaken a
gate or substitute a label, unit test, or deletion promise for artifact evidence.
