Problem

Several dev-base image references in this repo use the floating :latest tag, which is non-reproducible and drifts on every dev-base publish. This landed in f55d4192 (fix(ci): use published dev-base latest) and cuts against Kai's own same-day guard 80025c21 (fix(dev-base): refuse unpublished pins). See the aftermath review in coilyco-bridge/deploy#141.

Do

Pin every dev-base image reference in this repo to the current latest published dev-base version, dropping the floating :latest. As of 2026-07-10 the newest published tag is v0.245.0 (the aos release under which dev-base publishes). Resolve/confirm the newest published tag at implementation time (query the Forgejo container registry / the latest coilyco-flight-deck/agentic-os release) and pin to that exact version - do not hardcode a stale one, and do not revert to the old v0.195-era pin. The intent is "current latest, pinned," not "whatever floats."

Known references to update (grep dev-base to catch any I missed):

  • ansible/ dev-harness role default dev_harness_image_ref / dev_harness_image_tag - currently forgejo.coilysiren.me/coilyco-flight-deck/dev-base:latest. Pin the tag.
  • The CI/workflow refs introduced by f55d4192.
  • scripts/ward_eval.py:34 - a stray ghcr.io/coilyco-flight-deck/dev-base:latest (WARD_EVAL_IMAGE default). Different registry, but same floating-tag problem - pin it too (or align it to the forgejo registry if that GHCR path is dead).
  • Docs that quote the :latest ref (docs/ansible-dev-harness-role.md, docs/ansible-wsl-agent-stack.md, etc.) - update to the pinned form so docs and defaults agree.

Acceptance

  • git grep 'dev-base:latest' returns nothing functional (only intentional historical/prose mentions, if any).
  • Every dev-base ref names a concrete published version tag.
  • The dev_harness_image_tag one-line-bump ergonomics stay intact (a future bump is still a single tag change).
  • Satisfies the 80025c21 refuse-unpublished-pins guard.

Context

This is the infra half of the deploy#141 churn cleanup. Kai asked to swap infra to the current latest, pinned, rather than revert to the older pin. Root-cause fix for the churn that produced this: coilyco-flight-deck/ward#1105 + coilyco-flight-deck/agentic-os#462 (burndown repo-exclusion filter).

## Problem Several dev-base image references in this repo use the floating `:latest` tag, which is non-reproducible and drifts on every dev-base publish. This landed in `f55d4192` (`fix(ci): use published dev-base latest`) and cuts against Kai's own same-day guard `80025c21` (`fix(dev-base): refuse unpublished pins`). See the aftermath review in `coilyco-bridge/deploy#141`. ## Do Pin **every** dev-base image reference in this repo to the **current latest published dev-base version**, dropping the floating `:latest`. As of 2026-07-10 the newest published tag is **`v0.245.0`** (the aos release under which dev-base publishes).

The intent is "current latest, pinned," not "whatever floats." Known references to update (grep `dev-base` to catch any I missed): - `ansible/` dev-harness role default `dev_harness_image_ref` / `dev_harness_image_tag` - currently `forgejo.coilysiren.me/coilyco-flight-deck/dev-base:latest`.

WARD-RESERVATION: held 🔒

reservation details

Holder: container engineer-claude-infrastructure-543 on host KAI-DESKTOP-TOWER.

Reserved by ward agent --harness claude (reserved 2026-07-11T01:02:34Z). Concurrent ward agent runs are blocked until it finishes or the reservation goes stale (1h TTL). --force overrides.

Do not comment on or edit this issue to steer the run while it is reserved. The engineer seeded the body once at launch and never re-reads it, so a comment or edit reaches only human readers, never the running engineer. A correction goes to a new issue, dispatched fresh. That is the only channel that reaches a run in flight. Where the forge supports it, ward locks this conversation to make that a road-block rather than a convention (ward#494).

run seed context — what this run is carrying (ward#609)
  • Resolved: coilyco-flight-deck/infrastructure#543 · branch issue-543 · harness claude · workflow direct-main
  • Run: engineer-claude-infrastructure-543 · ward v0.605.0 · dispatched 2026-07-11T01:02:34Z
  • Comment thread: 0 included in the pre-flight read, 0 stripped (ward's own automated comments).

Static container doctrine and seed boilerplate are identical every run and omitted here (they ride ward v0.605.0).
