Description
The purpose of this feature is to improve workspace build/startup speed even when some image layers have changed.
As shown in a PoC: https://github.com/coder/envbuilder/issues/185#issuecomment-2143411074, it's possible to create and push intermediate images during the build process. However, doing so breaks the final image.
Investigate if this is still an issue and/or if we can work around it and create the intermediate images without affecting the final image. (For instance, our refactor of creating "reproducible" images in Kaniko might have improved the situation.)
A tip: Look into cloning and restoring the build args before/after creating the image (`(*stageBuilder).args.Clone()`).
