Research direction
Start with builds.json and the current pipeline to determine which Docker Hub tags and digests are officially produced, then inventory docker.io/stellar/stellar-cli. Review the README for where the publication policy should be documented. Done means the legacy-image disposition, test repository, and ongoing cleanup policy are agreed and recorded.

Description
What problem does your feature solve?
The docker.io/stellar/stellar-cli Docker Hub repository contains images that were published before this repo's pipeline existed. Those legacy images were not produced by the current builds.json-driven, digest-pinned pipeline, so they don't share its provenance, reproducibility, or pinning guarantees.
Leaving them in place creates a few problems:
- Users (and SEP-58 verifiers) can pull tags that look official but were not produced by the documented pipeline.
- The published tag/digest list no longer matches what
builds.jsonsays we publish, making the repo's source of truth misleading. - Ad-hoc/test pushes during pipeline development pollute the same namespace users consume from.
What would you like to see?
A plan with the following rough shape — exact details to be worked out in the issue/PR:
- Inventory every tag and digest currently on
docker.io/stellar/stellar-cliand classify each as:- produced by the current pipeline (matches an entry in
builds.json), or - legacy / not produced by the current pipeline.
- produced by the current pipeline (matches an entry in
- Remove (or otherwise retire — e.g. deprecate, hide, retag-and-archive) any images not produced by the current pipeline. Decide whether deletion is acceptable or whether we need a deprecation window first, given that downstream users and SEP-58
bldimgreferences may pin those digests. - Stop using
stellar/stellar-clias a test target. Pick a separate Docker Hub repo (e.g.stellar/stellar-cli-testor similar) for pipeline development and CI dry-runs, so the user-facing repo only ever receives pipeline-produced releases. - Document the policy in this repo's README so future maintainers don't re-pollute the production namespace.
