Research direction
Start in docs/roadmap/risks-and-decisions.md at the deferral row near line 260, and read release.md for the current release contract. The work is blocked on a weight-redistribution decision and on the Docker standard in #888, so there is no code to change yet. Done means a release-time workflow pushes digest-pinned images with provenance and an SBOM, the manuals name the variants it builds, and the row is removed with its ID in the CHANGELOG.

Description
Deferred work ·
F-W20260729-DOCS-05-image· severity Medium · cost ~1 week · recorded indocs/roadmap/risks-and-decisions.md:260
Summary
Decision C-15 made local docker build the distribution contract; publishing an image was deferred, not rejected. A publish pipeline is new release surface — registry auth, packages: write, an immutable tag/digest policy, provenance and SBOM coverage that release.md does not define — and the advertised airgap variant (with pre-cached weights) raises a model-weight redistribution question that is not an engineering decision.
Condition or budget
A decided position on redistributing pre-cached weights, plus the Docker standard (#888) that Phase 16 S13 relies on.
State today (re-checked 2026-10-09)
No workflow builds or pushes an image; no Docker standard exists; no redistribution decision is recorded.
Related
#451 corrects the manuals to the local-build contract (part of Phase 16 S13, #899).
Acceptance criteria
- A release-time publish workflow pushes digest-pinned images with provenance and an SBOM, as the Docker standard requires, and the manuals name exactly the variants it builds.
- The row is removed from the deferral table and the CHANGELOG names its ID (the table's removal contract).
Recorded in docs/roadmap/risks-and-decisions.md (read at f94595f) and re-checked against the code on 2026-10-09. The row leaves that table only when the fix is on main, the CHANGELOG names its ID and any promised guard exists.
