Overview

This section covers how to build the core worker image and how to create child images for workload-specific tooling.

When To Use

Use these docs when you need to:

• Modify the core worker runtime.
• Add dependencies for a specific workload.
• Build and test images locally.

Key Concepts

• Core image: modify this repo when changing worker behavior.
• Child image: extend the core image for extra dependencies.

Examples

• Core image workflow: docs/development/core-image.md
• Child image workflow: docs/development/child-images.md

Common Pitfalls

• Using child images to change core behavior.
• Forgetting to rebuild after Dockerfile changes.
