July 2025: Stabilized and corrected OpenBao Docker image tagging in stackhpc-kayobe-config. Resolved a Pulp repository misconfiguration by switching include_tags from overcloud_vault_docker_tag to overcloud_openbao_docker_tag to ensure correct Docker image tags and prevent silent failures during pulp-container-sync. The change improves deployment reliability and image consistency across environments.
