cluster-api-provider-kubevirt image is directly hardcoded into hypershift operator code,
see: https://github.com/openshift/hypershift/blob/94092458fd77a0ae7f5d5126aa45fc03f9b74323/hypershift-operator/controllers/hostedcluster/internal/platform/kubevirt/kubevirt.go#L26

so it's not automatically mirrored mirroring hypershift.

    

4.14, 4.15. 4.16
    

100%
    

    1. install hypershift without MCE on a disconnected cluster
    2. create a kubevirt cluster
    3.

capi provider pod is up and running without any workaround
    

not relevant on MCE managed environments since MCE is setting IMAGE_KUBEVIRT_CAPI_PROVIDER env variable pointing by digest to the right image
