Summary of ChangesHello @fok666, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request introduces a fundamental shift in how Docker images are built, moving from a conditional build-arg approach to a highly optimized multi-stage architecture. This change significantly enhances the efficiency and flexibility of CI/CD runner image creation by improving build times, reducing cache storage, and offering tailored tooling profiles for diverse use cases.

Code Review
This pull request introduces a well-designed multi-stage Docker build, which is a significant improvement for build performance and cache reusability. The new ARCHITECTURE.md file is excellent and clearly documents the new design.
My review focuses on a few critical correctness issues, a high-severity reproducibility concern, and some medium-severity suggestions for further optimization and documentation cleanup, in accordance with the repository's style guide.
Key findings:
- A critical issue with the
sudoconfiguration that will prevent the runner user from usingsudo. - A critical bug in the AWS CLI installation that will cause
arm64builds to fail. - A high-severity recommendation to pin tool versions to ensure reproducible builds, which is a best practice for production images.
- Several opportunities to further minimize image layers by combining
RUNcommands. - A documentation inconsistency in
ARCHITECTURE.md.

The sudoers configuration is for the %agent group, but the user created in this Dockerfile is runner (on line 257). This will prevent the runner user from executing sudo commands. The configuration should grant sudo privileges to the runner user.

The AWS CLI installation is hardcoded for the x86_64 architecture. This will cause the build to fail on arm64 platforms. You should use the TARGETARCH build argument to download the appropriate binary for the target architecture.
RUN ARCH=$([ "${TARGETARCH}" = "amd64" ] && echo "x86_64" || echo "aarch64") && \

Many tools in this Dockerfile are installed by fetching the 'latest' or 'stable' versions (e.g., yq, kubectl, kubelogin, pwsh). This can lead to non-reproducible builds, as a new tool version could be released at any time, potentially introducing breaking changes. To ensure build stability, it's a best practice to pin tool versions.
Please add build arguments (ARG) for each tool version (e.g., ARG YQ_VERSION=4.44.2 near the top of the file) and use them in the installation commands. This should be applied to all dynamically versioned tools.
RUN ARCH=$([ "$TARGETARCH" = "x64" ] && echo "amd64" || echo "arm64") && \

To minimize image layers and improve build efficiency, you can combine the apt-get commands for installing docker.io and jq into a single RUN instruction. This avoids running apt-get update multiple times and creates a more compact layer. This aligns with the style guide's recommendation to "Minimize image layers".

To minimize image layers, the apt-based installations for terraform and opentofu can be combined into a single RUN command. This reduces the number of layers and avoids running apt update multiple times, adhering to the "Minimize image layers" style guide rule.

This documentation snippet for the sudo configuration is incorrect and reflects a bug in the Dockerfile. The user is runner, not agent. This should be updated to reflect the actual implementation after it's corrected.
