Pull Request Overview

This PR integrates NGC automation into the image publishing pipeline by embedding previously shared CI configuration directly and adding new stages/jobs for rendering and publishing images to the NGC registry.

• Inlines and duplicates former common CI steps from .common-ci.yml
• Adds ngc-publish stage with .publish-images and publish-images-to-ngc jobs
• Removes .common-ci.yml and updates .nvidia-ci.yml accordingly

.nvidia-ci.yml:262

• The variable IN_IMAGE_TAG is not defined in this job, which will cause the script to output an empty value. You need to set or pass this variable before usage.

      echo "${IN_IMAGE_TAG} ${OUT_IMAGE_TAG}" >> ${VERSION_FILE}

.nvidia-ci.yml:263

• There's an extra trailing double-quote at the end of this line, which will cause a shell syntax error. Remove the extra quote.

      echo "${IN_IMAGE_TAG}-packaging ${OUT_IMAGE_TAG}-packaging" >> ${VERSION_FILE}"
