Description

Right now, we sync changes from upstream to e.g. the template file, but the template doesn't get applied until the next Go build update. The sync PR should also re-evaluate the templates for our Microsoft-side Dockerfiles, so CI catches issues ASAP.

We also must do this in order to add this test to go-images CI (or else the sync PRs would get blocked very often):

Research direction

Start by tracing the upstream sync workflow, then inspect the template file and the Microsoft-side Dockerfiles it generates. Review the test requested in microsoft/go#290 and verify that sync PRs re-evaluate the templates so Go-images CI catches template issues immediately.
