Container is standard terminology to refer to a running instance of an image. Yes I was being imprecise, substitute container for oci image. But you seem hung up on frivolity and not getting what I'm saying. We are agreeing with each other and just talking in circles. I can see that you don't see that but that's ok. All of this was because I misunderstood what you said initially when you referred to build artifact as the oci image when I thought you were talking about other sorts of build artifacts.

I mean using the CI system to pass in keys or creds. Yes, it's better to build the image with dependencies, but sometimes you can't do that.
