 - **New: split-base build pipeline.** `Dockerfile.base` (variant-independent layers — apt, locales, AWS CLI, Node.js, mempalace, gitea-mcp, user setup, chromadb prewarm, ENVs, entrypoints) builds once and is published as `joakimp/opencode-devbox:base-<sha>`. `Dockerfile.variant` `FROM`s that base and adds only opencode/omos/pi installs (or skips them per build-args). Companion workflow `.gitea/workflows/docker-publish-split.yml` runs as a `workflow_dispatch`-only pipeline alongside the existing `docker-publish.yml` so they don't conflict. Hash-driven base reuse: a content hash of `Dockerfile.base + rootfs/ + entrypoint*.sh` becomes the base tag; if the tag already exists on Docker Hub, the base build is skipped entirely. Estimated wall clock: version-bump-only release ~30–40 min (vs ~165–180 min today); base-touching release ~60–70 min. Trade-off: two Dockerfiles to maintain, and `npm install -g` in the variant must override `NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=/usr` per-RUN to keep baked binaries off the volume-shadowed path. Once 1–2 successful workflow_dispatch runs validate the output against the existing pipeline, the new workflow takes over `on: push: tags: v*` and the original is retired.
 
+## v1.14.44 — 2026-05-09
+
+opencode 1.14.42 → 1.14.44 bump (1.14.43 skipped upstream). Also completes the matrix coverage that v1.14.42 missed: `build-omos-with-pi` failed mid-publish on v1.14.42 due to an upstream npm CDN propagation race — `oh-my-opencode-slim@1.0.7` had been published declaring a dependency on `@opencode-ai/sdk@1.14.44`, and our build hit the registry within ~2 minutes of that SDK version landing, before the tarball had propagated across npm's CDN. The build returned 404 on the SDK fetch even though the manifest's `dist-tags.latest` already pointed at 1.14.44. Tarball is now fully fetchable; v1.14.44 builds cleanly across all four variants.
+
+- **Bump:** opencode 1.14.42 → 1.14.44 (`OPENCODE_VERSION` build-arg default in both `Dockerfile` and `Dockerfile.variant`).
+
+Known gap: `joakimp/opencode-devbox:v1.14.42-omos-with-pi` and the corresponding `latest-omos-with-pi` alias were NOT published in the v1.14.42 release (`build-omos-with-pi` job failed for the reason above). `latest-omos-with-pi` continued pointing at v1.14.41b until v1.14.44 published. Users on the `latest-omos-with-pi` floating tag were unaffected; users pulling explicit `:v1.14.42-omos-with-pi` would get a 404 from Hub. Closed by v1.14.44.

 ## v1.14.42 — 2026-05-09
 
+**Note:** Of the 4 multi-arch variants, 3 published cleanly (`v1.14.42`, `v1.14.42-omos`, `v1.14.42-with-pi`, plus their `latest*` aliases). `build-omos-with-pi` failed during the publish step due to an upstream npm CDN propagation race (see v1.14.44 entry above for detail). Re-running the failed job would have required another full ~3h matrix rerun in gitea Actions; we chose to bump opencode to 1.14.44 instead and let the next tag close the gap.
+
 opencode 1.14.41 → 1.14.42 bump. Carries along all container-side changes accumulated since v1.14.41b: pi package rename to `@earendil-works/*`, npm-prefix-on-volume fix, Hub doc rewrite, README/AGENTS docs catchup.
