Attestation

The Rekor UUID for this release is 108e9186e8c5677a0af3ff47db2d68605b227b75af0aa40d87262257e2b9295f35454fe3d050ed38

Obtain the attestation:

REKOR_UUID=108e9186e8c5677a0af3ff47db2d68605b227b75af0aa40d87262257e2b9295f35454fe3d050ed38
rekor-cli get --uuid $REKOR_UUID --format json | jq -r .Attestation | jq .

Verify that all container images in the attestation are in the release file:

RELEASE_FILE=https://infra.tekton.dev/tekton-releases/pipeline/previous/v1.7.0/release.yaml
REKOR_UUID=108e9186e8c5677a0af3ff47db2d68605b227b75af0aa40d87262257e2b9295f35454fe3d050ed38

# Obtains the list of images with sha from the attestation
REKOR_ATTESTATION_IMAGES=$(rekor-cli get --uuid "$REKOR_UUID" --format json | jq -r .Attestation | jq -r '.subject[]|.name + ":v1.7.0@sha256:" + .digest.sha256')

# Download the release file
curl -L "$RELEASE_FILE" > release.yaml

# For each image in the attestation, match it to the release file
for image in $REKOR_ATTESTATION_IMAGES; do
  printf $image; grep -q $image release.yaml && echo " ===> ok" || echo " ===> no match";
done

Changes

Fixes

• 🐛 fix: Populate step statuses before TaskRun timeout handling (#9184)

Fix a race condition on timeout that would result in a TaskRun status without steps statuses.

• 🐛 fix: panic in v1beta1 matrix validation for invalid result refs (#9135)

Resolved an issue where Pipelines with invalid result references in matrix parameters would cause a panic during validation (v1beta1 API)

• 🐛 Use patch instead of update to replace sidecars with nop image (#9128)

Fixed race condition causing TaskRuns to fail with 409 conflict error when stopping sidecars.
StopSidecars now uses Patch instead of Update to avoid conflicts with concurrent kubelet pod status updates.
