Codex R15 flagged that _clusev_ref_ok accepted malformed digest refs (short/non-hex,
which trigger a doomed pull instead of a build fallback) and refs carrying an embedded
newline in ANY segment (force_kv would then split .env, injecting an attacker-chosen key).
Anchor the check to an exact 64-hex sha256 digest and two ghcr.io path segments that each
start alphanumeric and otherwise contain only [A-Za-z0-9._-] — so no newline, "=",
whitespace or slash can appear anywhere in the ref. Malformed or tampered refs now fall
back to a local build and can never reach force_kv. Tests: +6 cases (short, non-hex,
path-traversal, ".." name, newline in digest, newline in owner).

Review found the build fallback could inherit a stale digest pin (compose build aborts), a slash-shaped/non-ghcr lock ref caused a doomed pull, env mode never persisted the pin (host restart used a nonexistent default tag), and the resolver test was unlinted/unrun in CI. Resolver now always leaves a coherent pin, validates ghcr.io/<owner>/<name>@sha256 refs only, exports the mode flag (drops the file-level shellcheck disable), and CI lints + runs the script unit tests.
