It's not that. Actions are enabled. I think perhaps the push with the branch wildcard didn't trigger because that change needs to be in the target branch already.

Thinking

Actually I think it's simpler than that — for push events GitHub does use the workflow file from the pushed branch itself, so it doesn't need to exist on main first. The likely culprit is the wildcard: in Actions branch filters, '*' does not match /, so if your PR branch is named dboreham/something, branches: ['*'] doesn't match it. '**' is the cross-slash wildcard. (The stack repo gets away with '*' because its workflows also have pull_request triggers, which is what fires on those PRs.) Fixing both:

✏️ Edit publish-images.yml
/home/david/projects/bpi/stack-wrapper-webapp/.github/workflows/publish-images.yml
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - '*'
+
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - '**'
✏️ Edit publish-images.yml
/home/david/projects/bpi/stack-wrapper-static-content/.github/workflows/publish-images.yml
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - '*'
+
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - '**'
The file /home/david/projects/bpi/stack-wrapper-webapp/.github/workflows/publish-images.yml has been updated successfully. (file state is current in your context — no need to Read it back)
The file /home/david/projects/bpi/stack-wrapper-static-content/.github/workflows/publish-images.yml has been updated successfully. (file state is current in your context — no need to Read it back)

Both workflows now use '**'. If your PR branch names contain a slash, this should trigger on the next push to those branches.

Ok good. That's all merged and the CI jobs running. Let me flip the image visibility to public once they're baked.

Thinking

While those bake, a quick way to confirm everything lines up once you flip visibility — from any machine without ghcr credentials:

docker pull ghcr.io/bozemanpass/static-content-base:latest
docker pull ghcr.io/bozemanpass/webapp-base:latest
docker pull ghcr.io/bozemanpass/nextjs-base:latest

Then the last piece is the stack-side work: pull-or-build for base images keyed on the wrapper repo commit hash, the wrapper-ref field, and the wrapper lock file. Just tell me when the stack clone is on a fresh branch for it (and once the packages are public I can verify the pulls myself as part of testing that change).

Ok the jobs finished. I noticed a github warning though: it is complaining about the use of Node.js 20 in the docker build push action. Can you check for a newer version of that action and update if appropriate?

Thinking

Let me check the current versions of those actions:

  "query": "select:WebFetch",
  "max_results": 1
}
[
  {
    "type": "tool_reference",

# Docker Metadata-Action Latest Release

The latest major release version is **v6.2.0** (released July 2, 2024).

## Node.js Runtime Information

Yes, the v6.0.0 release explicitly mentions the runtime upgrade. According to the release notes: "Node 24 as default runtime (requires Actions Runner v2.327.1 or later)."

This represents a significant change from the previous Node.js version used in earlier releases.

## Most Recent Release Versions

1. **v6.2.0** - July 2, 2024 (Latest)
2. **v6.1.0** - May 22, 2024
3. **v6.0.0** - March 5, 2024
4. **v5.10.0** - November 27, 2023
5. **v5.9.0** - November 4, 2023

The v6.x series represents the current major version line, with v6.0.0 introducing the Node 24 upgrade as a breaking change.
# Docker Build-Push-Action Latest Release

The latest major release is **v7.3.0** (released July 1, 2024).

## Node.js Runtime Information

Yes, the documentation mentions the runtime version. Version 7.0.0 introduced a significant change: **"Node 24 as default runtime (requires Actions Runner v2.327.1 or later)"**. This represents an upgrade from the previous Node 20 runtime.

## Recent Release Versions

1. **v7.3.0** - July 1, 2024 (Latest)
2. **v7.2.0** - May 21, 2024
3. **v7.1.0** - April 10, 2024
4. **v7.0.0** - March 5, 2024 (Major version with Node 24 migration)
5. **v6.19.2** - February 12, 2024
6. **v6.19.1** - February 11, 2024
7. **v6.19.0** - February 11, 2024

}
# Docker/login-action Latest Release Information

## Latest Major Version
The latest major release is **v4.5.1**, released on July 24.

## Node.js Runtime
The v4.0.0 release introduced **Node 24 as the default runtime**. According to the release notes: "Node 24 as default runtime (requires Actions Runner v2.327.1 or later)". This means current versions (v4.x) use Node 24, not Node 20.

## Recent Release Versions
1. v4.5.1 (July 24) - Latest
2. v4.5.0 (July 23)
3. v4.4.0 (July 3)
4. v4.3.0 (July 2)
5. v4.2.0 (May 22)
6. v4.1.0 (April 2)
7. v4.0.0 (March 4) - First v4 release with Node 24
8. v3.7.0 (January 28) - Last v3 release

        uses: docker/build-push-action@v7
        uses: docker/login-action@v4
        uses: docker/metadata-action@v6
Thinking

Done — both workflows now use actions/checkout@v5, docker/metadata-action@v6, docker/login-action@v4, and docker/build-push-action@v7, all of which run on the Node 24 runtime, so the deprecation warning will clear. (The Node 24 majors require Actions Runner v2.327.1+, which GitHub-hosted runners already satisfy — only a concern if you ever run these on old self-hosted runners.)

Worth noting: siwe-express-example (and presumably your other container repos following that pattern) use the same old versions, so they'll be emitting the same warning — same four-line bump whenever you feel like it.

Ready for you to push. After that, the remaining work is the stack-side consuming logic (wrapper-ref, hash-keyed pull-or-build, lock file) whenever the stack clone is on a fresh branch.

The wrapper repositories are all merged and the container images are in ghcr. I've changed their visibility to public.

Thinking

Let me verify the public pulls work, and check where the stack clone stands:

--wrapper-ref works end to end, with clean errors. Now the docs (per your docs-in-project preference), then the full regression runs:

✏️ Edit wrappers.md
/home/david/projects/bpi/stack/docs/wrappers.md
The image is built through the normal container pipeline (content-hash tagging, repository
fetching and locking all apply) and is referenced from the pod's composefile like any other
container image, e.g. `image: bozemanpass/my-static-site:stack`.

A repository may instead declare its own wrapping in its `container.yml` with the same
`wrapper` field (see [stack-files.md](./stack-files.md)).

The image is built through the normal container pipeline (content-hash tagging, repository
fetching and locking all apply) and is referenced from the pod's composefile like any other
container image, e.g. `image: bozemanpass/my-static-site:stack`.

A repository may instead declare its own wrapping in its `container.yml` with the same
`wrapper` field (see [stack-files.md](./stack-files.md)).

## Prebuilt base images

Wrapper repositories publish their base images to a container registry (ghcr for github-hosted
repos) via their own CI, tagged with the commit hash of the wrapper repo that produced them.
When a base image is needed, `stack` first looks for `<base-container>:<wrapper-repo-hash>`
locally, then in the registry, and only builds the base locally when neither is available (or
when the local wrapper repo checkout has uncommitted changes, or `--force-rebuild` is given).

## Pinning and locking wrapper versions

By default the wrapper is used at whatever version has been fetched.  To pin a specific
wrapper repository (or branch/commit), use `wrapper-ref` in stack.yml:

```yaml
containers:
  - name: bozemanpass/my-static-site
    ref: myorg/my-static-site
    wrapper: static-content
    wrapper-ref: bozemanpass/stack-wrapper-static-content@main
```

or `--wrapper-ref` with `stack webapp build`.  This is also useful for testing an unmerged
wrapper branch end to end, since wrapper CI publishes a base image for every pushed commit.

When a wrapped container is built from a stack, the wrapper repo's commit hash is recorded in
a `wrapper.lock` file next to the stack.yml (analogous to `container.lock`).  When present,
the locked commit is checked out when the wrapper repo is freshly cloned — and it names the
exact prebuilt base image to pull — making the build repeatable.  Commit `wrapper.lock` to the
stack's repo to pin the wrapper version for everyone.  A warning is issued if the local
wrapper repo drifts from the locked hash; remove the lock entry to re-lock at a newer version.

A wrapper repository should also provide a CI workflow that publishes its base image(s) to a
registry on every push, named `<registry>/<base-container>` and tagged with the full commit
hash (see `.github/workflows/publish-images.yml` in the existing wrapper repos) — this is what
allows `stack` to pull prebuilt bases instead of building them locally.

## wrapper.lock

The `wrapper.lock` file records the git commit hash of the wrapper repository for each wrapper used by the stack
(see [wrappers.md](./wrappers.md)).  It is generated next to `stack.yml` when a wrapped container is built, and can be
committed to the repo to make wrapped builds repeatable: the locked commit is checked out when the wrapper repo is
cloned, and it identifies the exact prebuilt base image to pull.

Thinking

The full implementation is done and unit-validated; both regression suites are now running cold (all base and app images deleted), which means they'll exercise the new ghcr pull path for real — including the webapp test, which should now pull the node base images instead of building them, a nice CI speedup as a side effect.

What's implemented and locally verified so far:

  • Prebuilt base consumption: prepare_wrapper_base_container() — keyed on the wrapper repo's commit hash: local <base>:<hash> → registry (derived from the wrapper repo's origin, github.com → ghcr.io) → local build fallback. Dirty wrapper checkouts and --force-rebuild always build locally; local builds get hash-tagged so subsequent runs skip. Verified: cold webapp build pulled ghcr.io/bozemanpass/static-content-base:69bfeb0… instead of building.
  • wrapper-ref: on stack.yml container entries, container.yml, and as --wrapper-ref on webapp build — fetches the named repo (any branch/hash) and resolves the wrapper only within it. Verified, including the error case.
  • wrapper.lock: written beside stack.yml on first successful wrapped build (ref + hash per wrapper), honored when the wrapper repo is freshly cloned (checked out at the locked hash, base pulled by that exact tag), drift warning otherwise. Verified through the full cycle: build → lock written → wrapper repo deleted → rebuild fetched the repo at the locked hash and pulled the matching base from ghcr.
  • Docs: wrappers.md gained "Prebuilt base images" and "Pinning and locking" sections plus the CI-publishing expectation in the authoring section; stack-files.md documents wrapper-ref and wrapper.lock.

I'll report when the suites finish.

Ok that's awesome. Perhaps later we can visit the subject of adding more test coverage for image fetching and the lock mechanism (e.g. tests that check the image is not fetched from ghcr but built locally when the tag has no corresponding built image).

Thinking

Good call — those paths currently ride along implicitly (the cold suite runs happen to exercise pull, but nothing asserts which path was taken, and the build-fallback and lock-drift cases have no coverage at all). Worth a dedicated test that manipulates the wrapper repo state (unpushed commit → must build locally; lock present → must fetch at hash; dirty checkout → must build and not lock). Noting it so it doesn't get lost:

✏️ Edit container-wrapper-schemes.md
/home/david/.claude/projects/-home-david-projects-bpi-stack/memory/container-wrapper-schemes.md
The webapp-template special case and `_fixup_*` rewrites were removed 2026-07-24 (`webapp deploy` now generates a temp single-pod stack; `data/stacks/` and `data/compose/` deleted from the tree). Remaining follow-ups: publish wrapper base images to ghcr; wrapper repos participate in lock files.

The webapp-template special case and `_fixup_*` rewrites were removed 2026-07-24 (`webapp deploy` now generates a temp single-pod stack; `data/stacks/` and `data/compose/` deleted). Also landed 2026-07-24: ghcr publishing of wrapper base images (CI in the wrapper repos, tag = repo commit sha), prebuilt-base pull-or-build (`prepare_wrapper_base_container`), `wrapper-ref` field/option, and `wrapper.lock` beside stack.yml.

Remaining follow-up David asked for: dedicated test coverage for base-image fetching and the lock mechanism — e.g. assert local build (not ghcr fetch) when no published image matches the wrapper hash (unpushed commit), lock honored on fresh clone, dirty checkout builds without locking.

Noted for the next round. Meanwhile the cold regression suites are still running — I'll report their results as the final gate on this batch, then it's yours to PR.
