Native Container Image Summaries in CI

Atmos container builds and pushes now write rich image summaries directly to the CI job summary when native CI is enabled. Use type: container workflow steps or atmos container build/push component commands and GitHub Actions gets a readable image report without adding a separate Docker summary action.

The summary includes the image reference, digest, image ID, OCI metadata, runtime configuration, environment variables, labels, layer digests, and the formatted raw inspect JSON. Push summaries use the pushed digest when the registry returns one, so reviewers can see the canonical artifact that was published.

ci:
  enabled: true
  summary:
    enabled: true

Summaries are best-effort. A successful build or push is not failed just because image inspection or job-summary writing is unavailable. When ci.summary.enabled: false is set, Atmos skips the image summary entirely.

This keeps native Atmos container pipelines self-contained: build, push, and review the image metadata from the same workflow or component command you already run locally.
