The shadow (dee93fa, run 4732) answered the gate: `imagetools inspect
--format` reads `.Image.Config.Labels` against this registry on buildx
v0.36.1. So the reuse check now asks the moving channel tag whether the image
it already points at carries this commit's `fc.revision`, and the r-<rev>
identity tags stop being published.

Three things this removes rather than manages:

A name minted per build that one thing read. Rule 145's narrowing is aimed
exactly there — "a third name for the same thing is upkeep for a model we do
not run."

The -main/-dev qualifier, and the CHANNELLED list behind it. Which tag you
inspect IS the channel, so the distinction has nowhere to live. cmd_identity
goes with it.

A silent expiry nobody wrote down. r-<rev> matches no branch of the
registry's keep_pattern (#3157), so identity tags were prunable past the
newest 10 — a pruned one costs a rebuild, in the safe direction and entirely
invisibly. A label rides inside a tag that has to exist anyway.

It also dissolves #3154 instead of deferring it: a scheduled base refresh
rebuilds :latest with the same revision label, the next unrelated push sees a
match and skips, and the refreshed base survives. Under the tag scheme that
push repointed :latest back to the older base.

The measured detail that shapes the code: a missing label returns an EMPTY
STRING and exits 0. Branching on the exit code would read "no label yet" as
success and skip a build that was needed. So it compares values, and every
uncertain case — absent label, unreachable tag, older image — lands as empty,
never equals a 12-char revision, and falls through to a build.

Reading the specific key matters too. The map carries the base image's labels,
and org.opencontainers.image.version sits right beside ours reading 24.04 on
the agent — a plausible-looking wrong answer.

Expect every artifact to rebuild once on this push: nothing carries a label
yet and it cannot be backfilled, since the reuse path copies a manifest and
config labels are not manifest annotations. One rebuild per artifact, ever,
self-healing after.

test_artifact_identity.py is rewritten around what is now load-bearing. The
CHANNELLED drift test had nothing left to guard; in its place the revision is
asked of git directly, so the file fails if the derivation ever stops being
"the commit this artifact's own shipped files last changed in".

Before building, each job asks the registry whether this artifact's content
is already published. On a hit it skips the build entirely and repoints the
channel and date tags at the existing manifest with `imagetools create` —
registry-side, no layer transfer, seconds. This is the step that stops a
push touching only `agent/` from rebuilding web and ml, and stops a merge to
main rebuilding what dev already built.

The question is asked with a new `artifacts.sh identity`, not with the date
tag: the date tag is day-precise and last-one-wins, so two different builds
share it and it cannot answer "is this content published?". The commit sha
would move on every push and never hit, which is the redundant rebuild being
removed. The revision does both jobs — content-unique, and stable across
pushes that did not touch the artifact.

Identity is channel-qualified for web and only for web, because web is the
only image that takes a build-arg: FC_CHANNEL is baked in and reported by
/api/extension/manifest, so its dev and main builds of one revision are
genuinely different images. ml and agent take none, which is what lets a
merge reuse dev's build rather than rebuilding the agent's CUDA image to
produce bytes that already exist. tests/test_artifact_identity.py reads the
Dockerfiles and fails if that list drifts from the ARG declarations, in
either direction — collapsing the channels ships an instance that reports
the wrong one, and splitting them needlessly rebuilds every merge.

Failure direction is deliberate: an inspect that errors for any reason reads
as a miss and the build runs. Only a real 200 skips one.

A tag-push never claims the identity. It rebuilds a revision main already
published, and image configs are not bit-reproducible, so re-pushing
r-<rev> would point an immutable tag at fresh bytes — rule 145's exact
prohibition. It publishes only its own :v... label and otherwise reuses.

Base-image freshness, decided rather than left implicit: an artifact whose
source stops moving stops picking up base updates under its pinned tag. That
is what a pin means, and rule 145 already says the refresh belongs on the
moving tag instead. Filed as #3154 rather than folded in here, because the
naive version regresses :latest on the next unrelated push.

ci.yml's backend lane gains fetch-depth: 0 — the new tests derive real
revisions, and on a depth-1 clone that derivation returns the tip sha or
fails, so the lane would go green while asserting nothing.

The three build jobs' shadow steps are renamed and re-commented: those
values stopped being informational at step 3, and a step captioned "nothing
reads this" beside steps that do is worse than no caption.
