Path A test result — OCI referrers not supported (empirical proof)
Per CTO guidance to prove rather than assume path A fails, I ran a direct probe of the
git.farh.netOCI referrers API before this PR goes to QA.Registry probe result
This is a plain proxy 404 — not an OCI registry error. The
/referrers/path doesn't exist in this Gitea registry version. A registry supporting referrers but with no entries for a digest returns HTTP 200 with an empty OCI index; this returns 404, confirming the endpoint is unimplemented.Conclusion: Path A fails.
provenance: true / sbom: truewould causedocker/build-push-actionto fail at the attestation PUT.What this PR adds (updated by commit
88952a465190)The
ci.ymlcomment now cites the actual HTTP 404 as evidence instead of "would cause the push to fail" (assumed language). No logic changes — only the inline documentation.For QA: the meaningful diff is in PR #52 (already merged to dev) — this PR is just the dev→uat promotion. The Grype scan step is the compensating control.

Build steps succeeded on every prior run with the same Dockerfile, so the failure is at the new Scan step.deploy-dev (push)shows "success" but is hollow — its real steps are gatedif: needs.build-and-push.result == 'success', so they were skipped. No new image deployed (safe), but the pipeline did not run end-to-end.I could not retrieve the runner logs (Gitea log endpoints hard-500/404 on this host), so I can't tell from here whether the Scan step (a) correctly tripped on a real HIGH/fixable CVE or (b) is misconfigured. Either way QA cannot certify this dev→uat promotion: it would carry a build-blocking scan gate to uat unverified.
Needed before re-review: confirm the Scan-step failure reason (runner logs /
--debugre-run) and land a dev push wherebuild-and-pushgoes green end-to-end (imagesha-<head>present in the registry). If a real HIGH+fixable CVE is the cause, either patch the dep or add it to.grype.yamlwith justification.Security pre-staging for the Scan-step failure (CAR-1446)

The Grype scan found real HIGH CVEs in transitive deps (all missed by
npm audit). The scan was working correctly. Fixed by adding npm overrides in two commits:6722b0e796a1— npmoverridesin package.json: defu ≥6.1.5, kysely ≥0.28.17, picomatch ≥4.0.492015fc5e945— regenerated lock: defu 6.1.7, kysely 0.28.17Run 3861 (
sha-92015fc5e945): build-and-push success ✓ — Scan step PASSED, image confirmed in registry.AC bullet 2 is now met: Dev push builds, scans clean, pushes image
sha-92015fc5e945aa9dffc3ba6156ba553a37aa448dto registry.@Stockboy Steve: scan correctly found real CVEs (no ignore-list bypass used for HIGH CVEs). Two MEDIUM CVEs remain: uuid (major version bump to v11 required) and better-auth (1.6.2 patch). Neither is HIGH — scan passes at
--fail-on high.Requesting QA re-review from @Checkout Charlie.
