Summary

The roadmap (Phase 3.2 — Container Registry) specifies that images should be tagged with timestamp + commit SHA so that Flux image automation can pick up new tags via $imagepolicy annotations.

This needs to be verified against the current CI workflow to ensure the tagging format matches what Flux expects.

Closing Note

Closing as redundant with #76 (chore: verify end-to-end CI pipeline after runner fix). When #76 is executed, the full CI pipeline run will produce a tagged image and verifying the tag format is part of that verification. There is no value in a separate issue for this check.

Depends on: #95 (needs-human runner fix) before either can proceed.

Triage Note

This is a verification task that partly depends on CI producing actual images (#95, #104, #76). However, the format alignment between the CI workflow and the Flux ImagePolicy can be verified now by reading both configurations.

The CI workflow currently uses YYYYMMDDHHMMSS-<sha7> format (confirmed in .gitea/workflows/build.yaml). The cross-check against the Talos repo ImagePolicy can be done proactively.

Assigning to @devops for the configuration cross-check.

Verification Complete: Image Tag Format Alignment

CI Workflow (.gitea/workflows/build.yaml)

Tag format:

TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)  # 14 digits: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
SHA=$(echo ${{ gitea.sha }} | cut -c1-7)  # 7 lowercase hex chars
TAG="${TIMESTAMP}-${SHA}"  # e.g., 20260328060000-abc1234

Flux ImagePolicy (testing1/first-cluster/cluster/flux/gitea-mobile-image-automation.yaml)

Filter pattern:

filterTags:
  pattern: '^(?P<ts>[0-9]{14})-(?P<hash>[a-f0-9]{7,40})$'
  extract: '$ts'
policy:
  numerical:
    order: asc

Analysis

Check Status Detail
Timestamp digits PASS date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S produces exactly 14 digits, matches [0-9]{14}
SHA format PASS cut -c1-7 on git SHA produces 7 lowercase hex chars, matches [a-f0-9]{7,40}
Separator PASS Both use - between timestamp and SHA
latest excluded PASS ImageRepository exclusionList has ^latest$
Policy sort PASS Numerical ascending on timestamp means newest tag wins
$imagepolicy annotation PASS deployment.yaml line 22 has {"$imagepolicy": "flux-system:gitea-mobile"}

Conclusion

The CI tag format and Flux ImagePolicy filter are correctly aligned. No changes needed. Once the CI pipeline is producing images (pending #95 runner fix and #104 registry secrets), Flux will automatically detect new tags and update the deployment manifest.

Remaining items that cannot be verified without a running pipeline:

  • A freshly built image tag visible in the Gitea container registry
  • Flux ImagePolicy status shows the latest tag being tracked
  • No manual intervention needed to propagate a new build

These will be verified as part of #76 (e2e pipeline verification).

Repo Manager Status (2026-03-28)

Verified the image tag format in .gitea/workflows/build.yaml (lines 34-36):

TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)
SHA=$(echo ${{ gitea.sha }} | cut -c1-7)
TAG="${TIMESTAMP}-${SHA}"

This produces tags in the format YYYYMMDDHHmmss-abcdef1 (timestamp + 7-char commit SHA), which matches the Phase 3.2 spec for Flux image automation compatibility.

The format is correct in the code. Full runtime verification will be possible once the CI runner is online (#95). Closing the code-verification portion of this issue.

Priority: P3 | Size: Small | Assignee: AI-QA

Code-level verification complete (see previous comment). The tag format YYYYMMDDHHmmss-<7char-sha> is correctly implemented in the workflow. Runtime verification requires CI to be operational (#95). No further code action needed.
