image-sign.yml

name: Sign Multi-Arch Images (cosign, keyless)

# Signs every image produced by `Build Multi-Arch Images` using `cosign`
# in KEYLESS mode (Fulcio + Rekor). Verification runs at the end of the
# workflow and re-runs in the Helm pre-install hook in-cluster so every
# pod started pulls a signature-checked image.
#
# Resolves #173: Sign container images with cosign (keyless / Sigstore)
#   Acceptance: `cosign verify --certificate-identity-regexp ...` succeeds.
#
# Signs the canonical set of tags produced by
# `.github/workflows/build-images.yml`: one per-arch tag per image
# (`main-amd64`, `main-arm64`) plus the merged multi-arch manifest
# tags (`latest`, `main`). Trimming avoids duplicate Rekor entries
# since `latest-<arch>`, `main-<arch>`, and `sha-<sha>-<arch>` all
# resolve to the same image digest on a single build. The merged
# manifest tags are signed together with the per-arch tags so the
# signature tag pushed by cosign (e.g. backend:main + .sig) correctly
# follows the manifest digest that the manifests job just resolved.

  # Run after Build Multi-Arch Images publishes to GHCR.
