fix: Explicitly specify the desired value if IMG for make

[danielpanzella]

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated the release workflow to more reliably publish container images by explicitly passing the image tag to build and push steps. This reduces the risk of mismatched tags and improves the stability and predictability of releases. No changes to application behavior or user-facing features. No downtime or configuration changes required for users.

Walkthrough

A single CI workflow file was updated to export IMG from IMAGE_TAG_BASE and VERSION before the make docker-build docker-push step. No other steps, variables, or public interfaces were changed.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary
CI workflow .github/workflows/release.yaml	Inserted export IMG=$IMAGE_TAG_BASE:$VERSION in the Build and Push step prior to running make docker-build docker-push; no other modifications.

Check name	Status	Explanation
Description Check	✅ Passed	Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Title Check	✅ Passed	The title references IMG and make, which matches the change that exports IMG in the release workflow, but its phrasing "if IMG for make" is grammatically unclear and could be more concise and readable.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changes. Docstring coverage check skipped.

Poem

I twitch my whiskers at tags that gleam,
IMG now bottled from base and stream.
A hop, a push, the docker’s done,
Release moon rises—builds all run.
In pipelines neat, I leave no trace,
Just carrot-logs and a stable base. 🥕🚀

Tip

👮 Agentic pre-merge checks are now available in preview!

Pro plan users can now enable pre-merge checks in their settings to enforce checklists before merging PRs.

• Built-in checks – Quickly apply ready-made checks to enforce title conventions, require pull request descriptions that follow templates, validate linked issues for compliance, and more.
• Custom agentic checks – Define your own rules using CodeRabbit’s advanced agentic capabilities to enforce organization-specific policies and workflows. For example, you can instruct CodeRabbit’s agent to verify that API documentation is updated whenever API schema files are modified in a PR. Note: Upto 5 custom checks are currently allowed during the preview period. Pricing for this feature will be announced in a few weeks.

Please see the documentation for more information.

Example:

reviews:
  pre_merge_checks:
    custom_checks:
      - name: "Undocumented Breaking Changes"
        mode: "warning"
        instructions: |
          Pass/fail criteria: All breaking changes to public APIs, CLI flags, environment variables, configuration keys, database schemas, or HTTP/GraphQL endpoints must be documented in the "Breaking Change" section of the PR description and in CHANGELOG.md. Exclude purely internal or private changes (e.g., code not exported from package entry points or explicitly marked as internal).

52-55: Minor: pass IMG inline and harden the shell

Passing IMG directly to make avoids reliance on export, and adding strict mode plus quoting is safer.

Apply:

-      - name: Build and Push
-        run: |
-          export IMG=$IMAGE_TAG_BASE:$VERSION
-          make docker-build docker-push
+      - name: Build and Push
+        run: |
+          set -euo pipefail
+          make docker-build docker-push IMG="${IMAGE_TAG_BASE}:${VERSION}"

52-55: Explicit IMG export correctly overrides Makefile default — LGTM

Makefile defines IMG ?= controller:latest and references ${IMG} in docker-build, docker-push, and kustomize targets, so exporting IMG before make will override the default.
