rhel-bootc-examples: composefs stable branch on c10s + bootc git main, image-builder containerdisk

cgwalters (2026-09-25): 'our p0 priority for composefs stabilization goal is basically updating https://github.com/redhat-cop/rhel-bootc-examples with a branch that uses current c10s plus bootc from latest git, ensures we can do things like run image-builder on it to get a viable containerdisk for example'. Target: a branch (forge PR) of redhat-cop/rhel-bootc-examples whose examples build FROM CentOS Stream 10 with bootc built from bootc-dev/bootc main, composefs backend (sealed and unsealed), and CI/devspace-proven flows: build image, bootc container lint, image-builder/bib to a qcow2 containerdisk that boots (bcvk), upgrade. Tracks all blockers found on the Composefs Stable board.

D1 (#237, A) is applied: bootc-dev/bootc#2516 merged on 2026-10-01, so composefs switch/upgrade works on image-builder disks with GRUB and a separate /boot. This stays open for cgwalters-forge/rhel-bootc-examples#4, which waits on your re-review, and for cgwalters-forge/image-builder#4, which needs rework now that bootc-dev/bootc#2500 replaced the install-config key it reads (#29).

✅ dispatch ended well. Result: #33 (comment)

Triage (21 Oct 2026): still valid and not done. What's left is waiting on your review, so this needs the operator.

Where it stands:

Done: composefs: Find GRUB's boot directory on a separate /boot when upgrading bootc-dev/bootc#2516 (composefs upgrade with GRUB and a separate /boot), lints: Don't require ostree bits on composefs-native images bootc-dev/bootc#2500 (composefs picked from the container) and install: Add explicit offline deployment mount API bootc-dev/bootc#2483 (bootc install mount) are all merged.
The branch itself is composefs: Build on CentOS Stream 10 with bootc from git, test through image-builder rhel-bootc-examples#4: a draft, mergeable, with your changes-requested review still standing from 29 Sep. The bot pushed fixes on 29 Sep (your comment that CI should drive just, with just base=centos-stream), rebased onto image-builder: error on customizations/kargs for UKI bootc images instead of silently dropping #21 on 8 Oct, and asked for a re-review on 10 Oct. Nobody has replied since. It sits on rbe#1–bootc: add integration test pulling a zstd:chunked image (composefs backend) #3, which are drafts with no current approval. Its bootc pin dates from 8 Oct, so it needs a just bootc-git-bump before it can merge.
image-builder side: bootc: install with composefs for containers built for it image-builder#4 and stabilize composefs #6 were closed when you asked for the install mount approach. That replacement is bootc: mount the deployment with bootc when it has install mount image-builder#7, a draft that has not moved since 7 Oct: its promotion was refused because of a conflict with osbuild/image-builder main in pkg/distro/defs/bootc_image_test.go, and the branch is now 73 commits behind. Without it, image-builder can't customize composefs disks, which is the "viable containerdisk" part of this item. Related: image-builder: select composefs from bootc's composefs-backend install config #29 is still open, although its install-config approach was dropped (image-builder#4 closed).

Decision for @cgwalters: what should happen to the rbe#1–#4 stack and image-builder#7? The options:

(a) Re-review rbe#1–composefs-rs: bootc-revdep.yml records a failed run on every push #4 as they stand. Then plan an implement run that bumps the bootc pin and rebases image-builder#7 onto osbuild main for your approval.
(b) Ask for rework first, for example folding rbe#1–bootc: add integration test pulling a zstd:chunked image (composefs backend) #3 into composefs-rs: bootc-revdep.yml records a failed run on every push #4 or reducing the scope to unsealed composefs only. Say which, and a plan follows.
(c) Drop the fork-PR route for rhel-bootc-examples and close this item as not planned, if the composefs stabilization goal is now tracked somewhere else.

No implement run is worth dispatching until you choose, because anything it pushes would land on PRs that are still waiting for your review. Once you've decided, #29 can probably be closed as superseded by image-builder#7.

Dispatched the plan in #33 (comment): run.

Triage (24 Oct 2026): still valid, not done, and still blocked on your decision. I posted no job plan.

Nothing has changed since the 21 Oct triage, which I re-checked today:

composefs: Build on CentOS Stream 10 with bootc from git, test through image-builder rhel-bootc-examples#4 (bot/c10s-bootc-git) is still a draft, with mergeable state blocked. Your changes-requested review from 29 Sep still stands. The bot's re-review ask from 10 Oct has had no reply, and it still sits on rbe#1–bootc: add integration test pulling a zstd:chunked image (composefs backend) #3.
bootc: mount the deployment with bootc when it has install mount image-builder#7 (bot/bootc-install-mount, the "viable containerdisk" part) is still a draft and hasn't been updated since 7 Oct. Its promotion was refused because it conflicts with osbuild/image-builder main in pkg/distro/defs/bootc_image_test.go.
image-builder: select composefs from bootc's composefs-backend install config #29 is still open, although image-builder#7 replaced its approach.

Decision needed from @cgwalters (same options as on 21 Oct):

(a) Re-review rbe#1–composefs-rs: bootc-revdep.yml records a failed run on every push #4 as they stand. A follow-up implement run would then bump the bootc pin (just bootc-git-bump) and rebase image-builder#7 onto osbuild main.
(b) Ask for rework first, for example folding rbe#1–bootc: add integration test pulling a zstd:chunked image (composefs backend) #3 into composefs-rs: bootc-revdep.yml records a failed run on every push #4 or limiting the scope to unsealed composefs. Say which.
(c) Drop the fork-PR route and close this item as not planned.

The only piece that doesn't depend on that review is rebasing image-builder#7 onto osbuild main to clear the conflict. If you want that done now, say so and the next triage can plan it as a standalone implement job. I didn't plan it unasked: the branch would drift again before the rbe stack is settled.

Dispatched the plan in #33 (comment): run.

Triage (25 Oct 2026): still valid and not done. It's still blocked on your decision, so I posted no job plan.

Nothing has changed since the 24 Oct triage. I checked again today:

composefs: Build on CentOS Stream 10 with bootc from git, test through image-builder rhel-bootc-examples#4 is still a draft (BLOCKED). Your changes-requested review from 29 Sep still stands, and the bot's 10 Oct re-review ask has had no reply. It was last updated on 10 Oct.
bootc: mount the deployment with bootc when it has install mount image-builder#7 is still a draft. It was last updated on 7 Oct and still conflicts with osbuild/image-builder main in pkg/distro/defs/bootc_image_test.go.
image-builder: select composefs from bootc's composefs-backend install config #29 is still waiting on its own A/B/C choice too (today's triage there).

Decision for @cgwalters, with the same options as before:

(a) Re-review rbe#1–composefs-rs: bootc-revdep.yml records a failed run on every push #4 as they stand. A follow-up implement run would then bump the bootc pin and rebase image-builder#7.
(b) Ask for rework first, e.g. fold rbe#1–bootc: add integration test pulling a zstd:chunked image (composefs backend) #3 into composefs-rs: bootc-revdep.yml records a failed run on every push #4 or limit the scope to unsealed composefs.
(c) Drop the fork-PR route and close this as not planned.

Re-triaging every day won't change this until you choose one, so the board could stop scheduling triage for this item until then.

Question for the operator (from the audit of the needs-human queue): rbe c10s branch: (a) re-review rbe#1-#4 as they stand, (b) ask for rework (fold #1-#3 into #4 or unsealed only), or (c) drop the fork-PR route and close?

The board's Why for this item was: cgwalters' P0: rbe branch on c10s + bootc git, image-builder containerdisk. Result: rbe#4 reworked per review (just base=centos-stream; CI only calls just; sealer cache fix); just e2e sealed + unsealed (unsealed needs forge bootc#23+#29, image-builder#4) passed on 16-core devspaces. Sealed boot hit a QEMU abort on one host (new item).
