Key patterns in this definition:
| Element | Description |
|-------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `contents` | Each build stage has its own `contents` section. Include packages needed only during the build, such as `bash`. |
| `pipeline` | Contains named steps that run shell commands. Always start scripts with `set -eux -o pipefail`. |
| `outputs` | Copies results from the build stage into the final image. Setting `diff: true` copies only files that changed, keeping the image minimal. |
| `accounts` | Nginx uses a dedicated `nginx` user (UID 65532) instead of `nonroot`. The `www-data` group (GID 82) is also created for web server compatibility. |
| `musl-utils` | Required in both the main and build packages for Alpine-based Nginx images. |
