# same-day tag was retargeted and a release
# deleted to make room, note 2813).
# Publish ONLY the immutable version tag;
# don't touch :latest (the main-push build
# for the merge commit already did that).
# refs/heads/main → push to main: publish :main + :latest
# (floating) AND :c-<short_sha> (immutable
# per-commit rollback substrate, per family
# release-posture rule "Tags are milestones,
# not gates — commit-SHA images are the
# rollback unit"). Rollback to any commit
# becomes `docker pull …:c-<sha>` without a
# release ceremony.
# refs/heads/dev → push to dev: publish :dev, the rolling test
# channel (family rule 146). Rolling means it may
# carry newer contents than the :c-<sha> of the
# same commit; it never writes :c-<sha> itself,
# because that is the rollback unit (rule 145).
# Two trigger shapes, and between them they publish three tags:
# main → :latest (production, moving — rule 147: main IS production)
# :c-<sha> (immutable, the rollback unit — rule 145)
# dev → :dev (the rolling test channel — rule 146)
#
# That is the whole list. No :<version>, and no :main — rule 145,
# narrowed 2026-08-28 once it was verified that nothing pins:
# "a third name for the same thing is upkeep for a model we do not
# run." The date tag published between milestone 313 step 3 and
# milestone 318 was exactly that; :main was a second moving name for
# whatever :latest already pointed at.
#
# `dev` gets no :c-<sha> deliberately. On a channel whose entire
# contract is that it moves, a per-push immutable tag is a rollback
# target nobody has ever pulled, accumulating forever. The accepted
# cost: on dev there is no rollback but the previous :dev, which is
# gone — recovery is revert-on-git plus a CI cycle.
#
# Reinstating :<version> is a real decision, not a default. It earns
# its place when something genuinely pins: a second instance held on
# a known-good build, or a deliberately frozen window. Tag at the
# moment you decide to freeze; no back-catalogue is needed.

"""`artifacts.sh identity` is what decides whether a build gets skipped.
"""`artifacts.sh revision` is what decides whether a build gets skipped.
Milestone 313 step 4: build.yml asks the registry for `<image>:<identity>` and,
on a hit, publishes NO new bytes — it repoints the channel and date tags at the
manifest already there. So the identity has to be a true name for the content.
Both ways of getting it wrong are silent at build time and only surface in
production:
Milestone 318 step 3: each image carries its revision as an `fc.revision`
label, and build.yml reads that label back off the moving channel tag. Equal
to the derived revision means the bytes this push would produce are already
published, so the build is skipped.
* **too coarse** — two genuinely different images share an identity, so the
second one never gets built and its tags point at the first one's bytes. The
live case is FC_CHANNEL: a `dev` and a `main` build of one revision differ,
and collapsing them ships an instance that reports the wrong channel forever.
* **too fine** — the identity moves when the content did not, nothing ever
hits, and step 4 buys nothing. A commit sha would do exactly this.
That makes the revision load-bearing in a way a version string is not — it is
compared for equality against a value stamped into a real published artifact.
Both ways of getting it wrong are silent:
The Dockerfiles are read here rather than trusted, because the coarse direction
appears the moment someone adds a build-arg without touching `CHANNELLED`.
* **it does not identify the content** — a revision that moves when the source
did not (a HEAD-derived value, say) never matches, nothing is ever skipped,
and the mechanism quietly buys nothing while every lane stays green.
* **it identifies the wrong content** — a revision that holds still when the
source DID change matches a stale label, the build is skipped, and the
channel serves bytes that do not correspond to the commit. This is the
dangerous direction, and it is what `test_artifact_paths.py` guards from the
other side by pinning the path sets.
This module owns the narrower claim: whatever the path sets say, the revision
is genuinely the commit those paths last changed in.
The identity-TAG tests this file used to hold are gone with the tag. There is
no longer a `CHANNELLED` list to drift (the channel is which tag you inspect),
and no `identity` subcommand to refuse an unqualified call.
