tare mcp images-sync

Mirror MCP server container images from registry.tetrate.ai (or the
REGISTRY_URL override) to a customer-controlled destination registry,
authenticated with the customer's service account JWT.

Sync scope matches "tare mcp install --servers" — the 15 servers present in
the embedded MCP catalog seed.

Pass an optional second positional to mirror exactly one image. Both the
alias (jira) and the image name (mcp-jira) are accepted; the "mcp-" prefix
is auto-stripped. Mutually exclusive with --servers.

Run this once at onboarding to seed the customer registry; then run
"tare mcp install --image-registry=<your-reg>" any number of times against
the same mirror.

Examples:
# Mirror all 15 installable MCP server images
tare mcp images-sync identity.json --to=gcr.io/my-mirror

# Mirror only a subset
tare mcp images-sync identity.json --to=gcr.io/my-mirror --servers=jira,slack

# Mirror exactly one image (positional shorthand)
tare mcp images-sync identity.json jira --to=gcr.io/my-mirror
tare mcp images-sync identity.json mcp-jira --to=gcr.io/my-mirror

# Preview the resolved src → dst pairs without touching any registry
tare mcp images-sync identity.json --to=gcr.io/my-mirror --print-images

Usage:
tare mcp images-sync <identity-file> [server] [flags]

Flags:
--image-registry string Override the source registry. Defaults to REGISTRY_URL env or registry.tetrate.ai.
--parallel int Concurrent image copies. First failure cancels in-flight siblings. (default 3)
--print-images Print the resolved src → dst image references and exit. No registry contact; identity-file SA validation still runs.
--progress string Renderer mode for sync progress: auto|tty|plain|none. (default "auto")
--servers string Comma-separated MCP server aliases to mirror (e.g. jira,slack) or 'all' for every installable server. Validated against the catalog-parity install gate. (default "all")
--stall-threshold duration Per-image stall warning threshold; escalation fires at 2x this value. (default 30s)
--to string Destination registry to mirror MCP images into (e.g. gcr.io/my-mirror). Required unless --print-images.

Global Flags:
-q, --quiet Suppress progress output; only errors and the final summary go to stderr
-v, --verbose Verbose output: plain-mode progress lines plus full per-blob chunk logs to stderr
