[oleksandr-codefresh]

Severity

Two customers met the issue, although issue has workaround

Version

2026.2.11891

Latest Version

I could reproduce the problem in the latest build

What happened?

Despite having new image for k8s deployment (e.g. us-docker.pkg.dev/nginx:1.27.1)
during octopus deployment process it doesn't commit any changes to the source of the app, although logs state that "Updated image reference: ..."

Reproduction

1. Create kustomize app, and manage it via argo-cd
2. create project with the app linked to it
3. use any octopus supported image registries, but not docker.io
4. trigger deployment
