Field notes
The platform uses a validated manifest as the source of truth for image definition, with the same schema feeding the console preview and the build job. HashiCorp Packer performs the build, while runners can sit inside the customer’s network and stream append-only log chunks back to the service. The design also covers retirement: archiving blocks new catalog use without disrupting existing deployments, and deletion is refused while versions remain.
