Description

From #92 Phase 1: zstd-compressed layers for quantecon-build in build-containers.yml, worth −20–35s per PR pull (measured pull is 129s, 75% of a warm lecture-dp run).

Neither docker/build-push-action call sets outputs: (.github/workflows/build-containers.yml:66-74, :108-116), so both push default gzip.

  • Add a tag input to test-container.yml — its workflow_dispatch: takes no inputs: (:6-11) and :latest is hardcoded at :33, :99
  • Push a :zstd tag and validate it with the smoke suite before :latest moves — :latest reaches consumers ungated by any release (see #92's note against #135)
  • Flip the build to zstd layers once validated

Research direction

Start with .github/workflows/build-containers.yml:66-74 and :108-116, then inspect .github/workflows/test-container.yml:6-11, :33, and :99. Trace how the tag input and build outputs flow through the smoke suite, and verify the zstd-tagged image before :latest is updated. Done means both build calls use validated zstd layers and the test workflow can select a tag.
