Add support for pinning the build and build-base images
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to pin build and build-base images by digest in rockcraft descriptors for repeatable builds and renovate-driven updates. Open 951 days, no labels, zero maintainer comments, no assignee. Code confirms base types are still Literal strings with no digest support.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has no labels, no maintainer comments, and no assignee after 951 days. Code inspection confirms BaseT and BuildBaseT in project.py are still Literal types (e.g. 'ubuntu@24.04') with no digest-pinning support, and RockcraftImageService fetches bases by name only. The feature remains unimplemented and relevant, so it needs a maintainer to triage and decide whether to scope it.
