Summary

Consolidate all Docker images into a single repo (ghcr.io/openabdev/openab) with tag-based variants.

Closes #1174

Changes

Dockerfile.unified

  • Shared builder stage: compiles the openab binary once in unified mode (superset)
  • Per-agent targets: 14 thin runtime layers that only install the agent CLI
  • Also compiles openab-agent (for native) and agy-acp (for antigravity) in the builder

.github/workflows/build-images.yml

New workflow replacing the per-variant approach in snapshot-build.yml:

  • Job 1 (build-core): shared Rust builder, 1× per arch (~8-10 min)
  • Job 2 (build-agents): 14 agent variants in parallel, thin layers (~2 min each)
  • Job 3 (merge-manifests): multi-arch manifest per variant (~1 min)

Tag strategy

ghcr.io/openabdev/openab:<version>-<agent>   # per agent
ghcr.io/openabdev/openab:<version>           # default (kiro)
ghcr.io/openabdev/openab:latest              # latest default

Agents

kiro, claude, codex, copilot, cursor, gemini, grok, hermes, mimocode, opencode, antigravity, pi, native, agentcore

Performance

~12 min total build time (vs ~140 min today with 14 independent builds)

What's NOT in this PR (follow-ups)

  • Deprecate/remove old snapshot-build.yml (after validation)
  • Remove individual Dockerfile.<agent> files (after migration period)
  • Update Helm chart _helpers.tpl to use <tag>-<agent> format
  • Update docs

Consolidate all Docker images into ghcr.io/openabdev/openab with
tag-based variants (<version>-<agent>).

- Add Dockerfile.unified with shared builder stage (compile once, unified mode)
  and per-agent targets as thin runtime layers
- Add build-images.yml workflow:
  - Job 1: build-core (shared builder, 1x per arch)
  - Job 2: build-agents (14x parallel, thin layers)
  - Job 3: merge-manifests (multi-arch per variant)
- Tag strategy: <version>-<agent>, <version> (default=kiro), latest

Agents: kiro, claude, codex, copilot, cursor, gemini, grok, hermes,
mimocode, opencode, antigravity, pi, native, agentcore

Estimated build time: ~12 min total (vs ~140 min today)

- Dockerfile.unified: add BUILDER_IMAGE ARG for registry-based builder reuse
- Dockerfile.unified: move openab-agent/agy-acp COPY after main build (cache-bust fix)
- Dockerfile.unified: fix .gemini → .agy dir in antigravity target
- build-images.yml: push builder to GHCR, pass via BUILDER_IMAGE build-arg
- build-images.yml: remove artifact upload/download flow (no longer needed)
- build-images.yml: add branch guard — only push :latest from main
- build-images.yml: add concurrency group to prevent tag race conditions
- build-images.yml: add input validation (tag format + variant allowlist)
- build-images.yml: remove agent cache-to (thin layers don't need caching)
- build-images.yml: add digest count/format validation in merge-manifests
- Fix script injection: pass inputs via env vars instead of direct interpolation
- Use arch names (amd64/arm64) in builder tags instead of runner names
- Add cache-from type=registry for builder reuse (ensures no recompilation
  even on GHA cache miss)
- Use env vars for branch checks in merge-manifests (injection hardening)
Covers all 14 unified targets with:
- docker build --target <variant> validation
- openab binary existence check
- agent CLI existence check

Triggered on PRs that touch Dockerfile.unified, src/, crates/, or
the openab-agent/agy-acp directories.

LGTM ✅ — Unified image build is architecturally sound, security-hardened, and ready to merge.

What This PR Does

Consolidates 14+ separate Docker images (openab-claude, openab-codex, etc.) into a single repo (ghcr.io/openabdev/openab) with tag-based variants, reducing total CI build time from ~140 min to ~12 min.

How It Works

  • Dockerfile.unified: Multi-target Dockerfile with a shared builder stage (compiles once in unified mode) and 14 thin agent runtime targets
  • build-images.yml: 4-job workflow — resolve matrix → build-core (1× per arch) → build-agents (14× parallel thin layers) → merge-manifests (multi-arch)
  • docker-smoke-test-unified.yml: PR-triggered validation of all 14 unified targets
  • Tag strategy: <version>-<agent>, <version> (default=kiro), latest (main only)

Findings

# Severity Finding Location
1 🟢 Registry-based builder avoids redundant Rust compilations across 28 matrix jobs build-images.yml:build-core
2 🟢 Native arch runners (amd64 + arm64) avoid QEMU emulation overhead build-images.yml:build-agents
3 🟢 Script injection hardened — all inputs passed via env: not direct interpolation build-images.yml:matrix
4 🟢 :latest branch guard prevents non-main overwrites build-images.yml:merge-manifests
5 🟢 Input validation (tag format regex + variant allowlist + latest blocked) build-images.yml:matrix
6 🟢 Concurrency group prevents tag race conditions build-images.yml:L14-16
7 🟢 Digest count + hex format validation before manifest creation build-images.yml:merge-manifests
8 🟢 Cache-busting fix: openab-agent/ and agy-acp/ copied after main build Dockerfile.unified:builder
9 🟢 PR-triggered smoke test covers all 14 unified targets docker-smoke-test-unified.yml
Follow-up Items (non-blocking)
  • Builder intermediate images (ghcr.io/.../builder:<tag>-<arch>) will accumulate — add retention/cleanup policy
  • matrix job lacks explicit permissions block (inherits GHA defaults)
  • Digest count hardcoded to 2 — update if adding a third platform in the future
  • Unified smoke test could add ACP handshake verification (matches legacy smoke test)
  • Consider SBOM/provenance attestation for supply chain hardening
  • Deprecate/remove old snapshot-build.yml and individual Dockerfile.<agent> files after migration period
  • Update Helm chart _helpers.tpl to use <tag>-<agent> format
What's Good (🟢)
  • Massive build time reduction: ~140 min → ~12 min by compiling once and packaging 14 thin layers in parallel
  • Security hardened: script injection prevention, input validation, branch guards, digest verification
  • Multi-arch done right: native runners + push-by-digest + imagetools manifest creation
  • Robust cache strategy: registry-based builder reuse + GHA cache as fallback
  • Complete validation: PR-triggered smoke test ensures no broken targets merge

Build the shared builder stage once and cache it via GHA cache.
Agent target smoke tests pull cached builder layers instead of
recompiling the Rust workspace independently.
Cargo walks up to find /build/Cargo.toml workspace root and errors
because openab-agent/agy-acp are not workspace members. Adding an
empty [workspace] table makes each sub-crate its own workspace root,
matching how Dockerfile.native handles this.
