VNX-GH-106: Container image not pinned to a digest

docker:// steps, job containers and services reference an image by tag.

Updated 02 Nov 2026Checked against cli@24498404a, vdb-sca-match@v0.8.14

Image tags are mutable. The image that runs with the job’s token and workspace can change without any change to the workflow.
