PR 21 image-build jobs started failing during Set up job before any Docker or Trivy work executed.
The reusable image workflow pins aquasecurity/trivy-action and must stay stable for both PR image previews and release image builds.
Decision:
Refresh the pinned aquasecurity/trivy-action revision in the reusable image workflow to the current v0.35.0 commit.
Avoid adding a bespoke Trivy bootstrap workaround because the failure came from a broken upstream dependency reference in the older pinned action revision.
Consequences:
PR and release image scans use a current upstream action revision that resolves its internal setup-trivy dependency correctly.
Future upstream breakage still requires periodic pin review, but the workflow returns to a working pinned state without changing scan policy.
Follow-up:
Re-run the PR image workflow and confirm both architecture builds plus the multi-arch manifest job report status normally.
Keep the Trivy action pin aligned with upstream security maintenance when workflow dependencies are refreshed again.
PR 21 was blocked by failing Build PR Images jobs, which in turn kept the required image workflow from completing.
Design notes:
The fix stays inside .github/workflows/build-images.yml because the break was in the reusable image workflow’s pinned third-party action revision.
The updated pin targets the upstream v0.35.0 commit 57a97c7e7821a5776cebc9bb87c984fa69cba8f1, whose composite action installs Trivy through a pinned setup-trivy commit instead of the missing v0.2.1 tag that broke the older revision.
The follow-up keeps Trivy scanning against the pushed registry image by forcing TRIVY_IMAGE_SRC=remote and threading the matrix platform into TRIVY_PLATFORM, which avoids architecture-specific scan failures after buildx --push.
PR image scans now keep uploading SARIF findings without failing the reusable image job on pull_request, so manifest creation is not blocked by vulnerability reporting while release-style callers still retain the non-zero Trivy gate.
The local db-start guard now recreates stale Postgres containers when the published host port does not match the requested port, closing the remaining PR review thread on the recipe.
The ui-e2e recipe now uses Playwright’s --with-deps path on Linux whenever passwordless sudo is available, keeping local validation aligned with CI and preventing headless Chromium from failing before UI coverage is produced.
The tar extractor now skips non-file, non-directory tar entries instead of aborting the whole extraction, so archives containing symlinks or hardlinks still unpack their regular files successfully.
Test coverage summary:
Re-ran PG_VOLUME=revaer-pgdata-ci just ui-e2e.
Re-ran PG_VOLUME=revaer-pgdata-ci just ci.
Pulled PR 21 workflow logs to confirm the old failure signature before applying the pin refresh.
Observability updates:
No runtime observability surfaces changed; this is CI workflow maintenance only.
Status-doc validation:
README.md and operator-facing docs were re-checked and do not describe the pinned Trivy action revision, so no user-facing doc update was required.
Risk & rollback plan:
Risk is limited to CI image scanning behavior on PR and release workflows.
Rollback is a single-commit revert of the workflow pin if the newer Trivy action regresses unexpectedly.
Dependency rationale:
No new dependencies were added.
Updating the existing pinned action was preferred over embedding custom Trivy installation logic or disabling image scanning.
