Research direction

Start by locating the Jenkins image-building configuration in this repository, then compare it with the old main agent image-building repository linked in the issue. Determine how the current Docker-in-Docker setup is wired and what Kaniko configuration must be restored. Done means image builds run successfully through a Kaniko build agent without Docker-in-Docker.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When moving Jenkins I used the latest agents I had been working on coincidentally which were docker-in-docker based which isn't great for security. In the past we avoided that by using a Kaniko build agent to make the images. There's really no reason other than a bit of time to not just go back to that but time has this annoying thing about being finite and I'm trying to move on to some other priority stuff for the moment. To here a reminder goes!
