Move the fedora:43 pin, dead two days after the last move Third death in a week. 08578ea moved both pins on 2026-08-10 after they went dead in two days; the fedora:43 digest set there was gone from quay by today, so a cold container store could not build the image at all. fedora-bootc:43 is still current and unchanged. refresh-base-digests.sh --check is the thing that named it DEAD rather than MOVED, which is the distinction worth having: MOVED is a decision, DEAD is the whole install path broken, since Alloy publishes nothing and the install story is build-it-yourself. The cadence is now the finding. Every pin has expired within days of being set, so pinning against quay is not reproducibility, it is a countdown. That is GO alloy ebf30337, where the decision to mirror the bases somewhere we control is already made and unimplemented.
