Description

Description

The build image is often getting out of date, and we have an endemic problem in which one or other of the image/toolchains doesnt get updated

We could fairly trivially add a check to see what the latest build image is and the toolchain versions and raise a ticket to address

Fixing would probably be fairly doable also, so we could potentially raise PRs to fix

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the CI configuration to understand how the build image and toolchains are versioned. Check the latest release of envoy build ubuntu and compare with the toolchain versions used in the repository. Draft a script or GitHub Action to compare versions and raise an issue or PR if mismatched.
