Description

With the current check of the image version format

https://github.com/overleaf/toolkit/blob/0ae6584650869d2aec9b703a9a54d41b14c76dfb/lib/shared-functions.sh#L13

it is impossible to run images with custom tags (e.g. those committed with a user-chosen version).

Research direction

Start by reading lib/shared-functions.sh at line 13 and reproduce the version check with the example tag 5.0.5-updated-tex. Determine the validation behavior needed to permit user-chosen image tags while preserving the existing version handling. Done means modified images with custom tags can be used successfully.
