January 2026: Delivered BuildKit-compatible source policies for Buildah, enabling policy-driven control of image sources during builds and improving security and reproducibility. Implemented a new --source-policy-file CLI flag, added policy actions (ALLOW, DENY, CONVERT) and match types (EXACT, WILDCARD), and normalized image references to docker-image://. Clarified processing order with Containerfiles references and integrated policy loading into the executor and evaluation into the stage logic. Created a dedicated policy package, and updated documentation and tests to cover new behavior. Fixed default matchType to WILDCARD in line with BuildKit spec and migrated image normalization to the standard reference.ParseNormalizedNamed. This work enhances security, traceability, and parity with BuildKit, while improving reliability and maintainability.
