Research direction
Start by inspecting the pandoc/latex:latest image configuration and the TeX Live setup behind the failing tlmgr update --self command. Reproduce the error, review the earlier issue #266 for context, and consider the work complete when the image’s update job no longer fails because local TeX Live is older than the remote repository.
