In short, when creating an image, pushing it to a repository, and then recreating it with minor changes, the image should not pull down when a `podman pull` command is executed. Full details, including test plans, are included in Nalin's "Reproducible Builds" document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nL-A6YFEY7vhhCdqOpll3LdbpMgZ4BlNEM0qvBSTSFs/edit?tab=t.0

.Improved support for reproducible container builds Reproducible builds ensure that a given set of inputs consistently generates the same output. This enhancement addresses several factors that previously complicated reproducibility in container image builds. While using `-source-date-epoch` and `-rewrite-timestamp` improves the reproducibility of builds and better aligns with common practices like setting and looking for `$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`, it cannot guarantee complete reproducibility.
