check-image-pins.py now refuses a QUOTED `"image":` key (was not read at
all), an interpolated `${APP_IMAGE:-nginx}` ref (the tag cannot be read),
and `@sha256:` with no 64-hex digest behind it (the label of a pin). It
takes --root=<dir> (the decoy seam) and accepts the runner's --all.
test_gate_decoys.py: 17 image-pins cases — nine facts that must be
refused (untagged, a registry port read as a tag, quoted/capital :latest,
:edge, a comment claiming a pin, the quoted key, interpolation, a fake
digest), seven inert/genuine shapes that must pass, and the real catalog.
COVERS gains "image-pins".

bentopdf :latest -> v2.8.6; calibre-web :latest -> v4.0.6 (== running digest on
demo 9201, c31a738b - pin is a no-op); papra :latest -> 26.6.1-rootless (latest
was the rootless variant); recipe-importer :latest -> v0.9.11 (tag pre-existed,
digest-equal, no retag needed); termix :latest -> 2.5.0.
All five pins digest-identical to what :latest resolved to on 2026-07-12.
New gate scripts/check-image-pins.py (catches floating tags AND untagged refs;
red-proofed both shapes). Standing rule in CLAUDE.md + REUSE.md row.
