Research direction

Look for the e2e test runner scripts, likely in a test/ or hack/ directory, that handle make test_nerdctl_Spt. Find where images are pulled and cleaned up. Add a conditional check for an environment variable like KEEP_IMAGES to skip the deletion step. Verify by running the test locally with and without the flag.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

dev

An opt in flag for local e2e runs that skips deleting pulled images afterward, so repeated local runs don't re-pull the same images from Harbor every time.

CI stays exactly as is, this only kicks in when explicitly set, perhaps something like KEEP_IMAGES=1 make test_nerdctl_Spt.
