The annotate-eol-digests pipeline was failing to run in Azure DevOps with the following error:

Encountered error(s) while parsing pipeline YAML:
A value for the 'sourceBuildPipelineRunId' parameter must be provided.
/eng/pipelines/templates/variables/image-builder.yml (Line: 13, Col: 10): Key not found 'sourceBuildPipelineRunId'

This occurred because the pipeline hadn't been migrated to work with the new pipeline system that requires specific parameter passing patterns.

Root Cause

The pipeline was missing two required parameters:

1. sourceBuildPipelineRunId - Required by the templates/variables/image-builder.yml template but not provided by the pipeline
2. acr - Required by the annotate-eol-digests.yml step template but not passed from the pipeline

Solution

Added the missing parameters to align with the new pipeline system requirements:

1. Added sourceBuildPipelineRunId parameter with default value $(Build.BuildId), consistent with other pipelines in the repository
2. Added acr parameter configuration to the annotate-eol-digests step with proper ACR settings:
   • Server reference: $(acr.server)
   • Repository prefix: "public/"
   • Service connection details from the publish service connection variables

These changes follow the same patterns used in other working pipelines like dotnet-buildtools-image-builder-official.yml and ensure the pipeline can execute successfully in the new pipeline system.

Validation

• ✅ Template parameter requirements are now satisfied
• ✅ Command arguments match expected AnnotateEolDigestsCommand parameters
• ✅ YAML syntax validated
• ✅ Consistent with existing pipeline patterns in the repository
