Description

The name of the sha256 tagger incorrectly implies that it generates tag based on the a SHA256 digest of the artifact contents. We should

  • move the sha256 tagger to the end of the list in docs/content/en/docs/pipeline-stages/taggers.md and document that its use is best used only for CD type jobs
  • rename the tagger to latest to avoid any implicit associations, with a skaffold.yaml migration
  • add a #sha256-uses-latest-to-tag-images ref to the doc to explain why it was renamed
  • rename the tagger/sha256 issue label

Research direction
This issue involves renaming the 'sha256' tagger to 'latest' and updating documentation. Start by reading the current tagger implementation in the codebase (likely under pkg/skaffold/tag/). Then update docs/content/en/docs/pipeline stages/taggers.md to move the entry and add a note. Also rename the associated label in the repository. No linked PRs or comments exist, so maintainer guidance may be needed on the exact migration path for skaffold.yaml.
