In Sep 2025, the release-service-catalog delivered a critical security reliability improvement by moving docker image signing verification from partial-match to exact-match, reducing false positives and increasing trust in image integrity. The change consisted of a single-line YAML tweak in the rh-sign-image-cosign.yaml task and is backed by commit 4496d89a5cc1df939722d7db3163689f8c9cc342 (fix(CLOUDDST-29226): check existing signatures). This enhancement strengthens the CI/CD pipeline security, decreases deployment risk due to mis-signatures, and improves release confidence.

July 2025 monthly summary focusing on key accomplishments in scoheb/release-service-catalog. Implemented automated Pyxis image generation for operator index images via a Tekton task, and integrated it into the fbc-release pipeline to auto-update the catalog page with index images released from Konflux. This work reduces manual steps, speeds up release cycles, and improves accuracy of published images. No major bugs fixed this month; bug fixes were minimal and not part of the scope for this release cycle.

Delivered Pyxis-based staging release signing for the fbc-release pipeline in konflux-ci/e2e-tests. Introduced Pyxis parameters for staging and created an opaque secret named 'pyxis' containing stage key and certificate environment variables to enable signing and release operations in staging. This change is tracked under commit be87a8af5b389422d470bd5d9e59689a1eb55e54 (feat(CLOUDDST-26262)).

In November 2024, delivered a reliability enhancement for the release-service-catalog by implementing a Cosign signing retry mechanism to improve Quay push reliability. The change introduces a configurable retries parameter (default 3) to the cosign signing task, refactors signing logic to include a robust retry loop, and adds tests to verify retry behavior. This work is encapsulated in commit 88da8b76c2189b8d1044a4ec065971909fbf83f7 (fix(CLOUDDST-24922): retry cosign in signing task (#683)).
