kind load docker-image serializes the full image (docker save | ctr import),
taking 5-10 minutes per cluster recreate. Replace with a persistent local
registry (registry:2 on port 5001) that survives kind cluster deletes.
stack-orchestrator changes:
- helpers.py: replace load_images_into_kind() with ensure_local_registry(),
connect_registry_to_kind_network(), push_images_to_local_registry()
- helpers.py: add registry mirror to containerdConfigPatches so kind nodes
pull from localhost:5001 via the kind-registry container
- deploy_k8s.py: rewrite local container image refs to localhost:5001/...
so containerd pulls from the registry instead of local store
Ansible changes:
- biscayne-sync-tools.yml: ensure registry container before build, then
tag+push to local registry after build (build-container tag)
