Summary

build-node-image #2695 failed for 4.21-9.6 stream with registry connection errors.

Build Info

• Job: build-node-image
• Build: #2695
• Stream: 4.21-9.6
• Timestamp: 2026-02-27T06:19:04

Error

Error: failed to decode message from stream: unexpected EOF
Error: server probably quit: unexpected EOF

The podman push to registry.ci.openshift.org failed with EOF errors, followed by podman build failing with the same.

Context

• Build #2693 (4.21-9.6) succeeded just 3 hours before
• Build #2693 (4.21-9.6) and many others succeeded - this is an isolated transient failure
• Similar to COS-3976 (registry EOF flake)

Resolution

Transient infrastructure flake - closing immediately.
