New day, new findings.

Yesterday, in a very fruitful conversation with Caponetto, I
discovered that `kie-tools` is currently referencing two additional
images from `kogito-images`. The current dependencies between
`kie-tools` and `kogito-images` are the following:

1. `packages/kn-plugin-workflow` --> `quay.io/kiegroup/kogito-swf-devmode`
2. `packages/serverless-logic-web-tools-swf-builder-image` -->
`quay.io/kiegroup/kogito-swf-builder`
3. `packages/serverless-logic-web-tools-base-builder-image` -->
`quay.io/kiegroup/kogito-base-builder`
4. `packages/serverless-logic-web-tools-swf-dev-mode-image` -->
`quay.io/kiegroup/kogito-base-builder`

All these references were already correctly pointing to the `-nightly`
builds of each image, mirroring the timestamped SNAPSHOT strategy we
currently have. Except for reference 2., which was pointing to
`latest`. I sent a PR
(https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-tools/pull/2198) to fix the
discrepancy, and to my surprise the PR broke, with a `999-SNAPSHOT`
reference not being found during the build.

All three images that depend on `kogito-images` are dependencies of
the Serverless Logic Web Tools app.

This is a clear example of the problems I explained in my previous
messages. Let me explain this manifestation of the problem here in
more depth.

The problem here is a module from a Category A repo was renamed, and
the `main-2024-02-18` tag of `quay.io/kiegroup/kogito-swf-builder` was
published with a reference to
`org.kie.kogito:kogito-addons-quarkus-knative-serving-deployment:999-SNAPSHOT`.
An artifact with this GAV does not exist anymore, as SNAPSHOTs are not
only mutable, but also ephemeral. IMHO, Maven SNAPSHOTs are NOT a
reliable mechanism for repo synchronicity, but that's a problem for
later.

`kogito-images` depending on upstream repos through mutable, ephemeral
SNAPSHOTs, is making `kie-tools` indirectly depend on them too, and as
you could see, the build is broken, simply because a module was
renamed. With the risk of getting ahead of myself, I just want to make
it clear that if `kie-tools` just pointed to the `latest` tag of
`kogito-images`, it would be exactly the same case as a Dockerized
version of  Maven SNAPSHOTs, which, of course, would be problematic,
as already extensively explained in this thread.

The outcome of my findings between yesterday and today are:

A. `kn-plugin-workflow` is not the only package on `kie-tools`
depending on `kogito-images`. We also have
`serverless-logic-web-tools-swf-builder-image`,
`serverless-logic-web-tools-base-builder-image`, and
`serverless-logic-web-tools-base-builder-image`. All dependencies to
the Serverless Logic Web Tools app.
B. weak vs. strong dependencies is a fallacy. Testing and developing
require us to have the dependencies available, in sync, at all times.
The way I see things, a dependency is a dependency. Period.
C. The nightly builds of `kogito-images` are potentially all broken
after some modules were renamed, rendering them not usable. This can
be mitigated by upgrading to a more recent timestamped SNAPSHOT/tag,
which is already PRed
(https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-tools/pull/2193), but the
architectural problem will remain, unless we change the automation
jobs of `kogito-images` to point to timestamped SNAPSHOTs of upstream
artifacts when publishing their own timestamped tags under the
"-nightly" prefix. Which I think we have to do, btw.

To conclude, the proposal initially shared on this email thread still
holds for unblocking and releasing Apache KIE 10, even after those new
discoveries.
