Description

I tried running docker-slim against an Alpine container which worked (creport.json exists and has files in it), but docker-slim complains that there are no data artifacts and the resulting image is unusable (because there is no data in it). The volume mount for the artifacts seems fine, but there is no data being copied. Let me know what data I should provide to help with debugging.

Research direction

Reproduce the report with docker-slim and an Alpine container, then trace the artifact-generation and copy path while checking the mounted artifact location and resulting image. The payload names no source file or test, so first locate the relevant entry point; done means Alpine images contain the expected data artifacts and remain usable.
