 # Vault Secrets Bridge
 
+Linux runtime **`v0.1.3`** integrates shared Ubuntu 26.04 security backports for already-installed packages while preserving the selected coreutils provider.

+The image retains bundle manifests, source inputs and installation receipts under `/usr/share/pasturestack/security/ubuntu-backports/`.
+
 `vault-secrets-bridge` is the PastureStack host-authenticated broker for short-lived HashiCorp Vault leases. It accepts only fresh requests signed by an active host identity, enforces an explicit policy allowlist, asks Vault for a response-wrapped child token, encrypts that wrapping token to the requesting host, and tracks only the revocable accessor under a hashed host-and-volume key.
 
-The current public release and Catalog image are `v0.1.2`. This repository does

+The Linux image is `ghcr.io/pasturestack/vault-secrets-bridge:v0.1.3`.
+This repository uses unused pure numeric versions and does not publish a
+mutable `latest` tag.
 
 The companion `secrets-flexvolume-plugin` runs as a separate host-local Docker volume driver with `--provider vault`. It verifies and decrypts the returned envelope, writes the wrapping token to a read-only file in an isolated `tmpfs`, and asks this bridge to revoke the lease after the final workload unmounts the volume.
