📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates default Skupper image tags, adds a Make target that prints variable values, and passes image and registry settings to east and west E2E kind cluster creation commands.

Changes

E2E cluster configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Image configuration and cluster wiring .circleci/config.yml, Makefile	IMAGE_TAG and ROUTER_IMAGE_TAG use new defaults. The print-% target echoes Make variables. CircleCI passes image tags and registry values to both cluster setup commands.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5067b

The E2E workflow still loads images under one tag while deploying them under another, which can prevent clean test clusters from starting. The PR is not merge-ready until the image tags are aligned.
