# Image-Sync
> **★★★ CSE / Knowable Construction.** This repo operates under **Constructive Substrate Engineering** — canonical specification at [`pleme-io/theory/CONSTRUCTIVE-SUBSTRATE-ENGINEERING.md`](https://github.com/pleme-io/theory/blob/main/CONSTRUCTIVE-SUBSTRATE-ENGINEERING.md). The Compounding Directive (operational rules: solve once, load-bearing fixes only, idiom-first, models stay current, direction beats velocity) is in the org-level pleme-io/CLAUDE.md ★★★ section. Read both before non-trivial changes.
Smart container image cache synchronizer -- pulls from external registries only when the remote digest differs from what is cached locally. Designed to run as a Kubernetes CronJob alongside a Zot registry to eliminate Docker Hub rate limits during scale testing.
