  • Support installing private extensions with  GH_TOKEN/GITHUB_TOKEN
  • Forward authentication to the selected non-root user and use gh auth git-credential for cloning
  • Prevent temporary build authentication from incorrectly disabling the extension-list fallback

Testing

  • Passed the existing public extension scenario
  • Built with a private repository using a BuildKit secret and verified the token was not persisted in the image
