Before you replace the filesystem

An image deployment into an existing workspace that is not already image-pinned can require explicit --reimage consent. Export development files and back up application data first. Persistent volumes are separate from the root filesystem, but verify mounts and recovery procedures before proceeding.

Deploy the image

From the local project directory, after reviewing the target:
This is permission to replace the workspace filesystem, not a routine flag for incremental updates. Do not add it globally to every deploy command. Incremental strategy rejects it.

Verify recovery

Check the workspace is running, verify every application, and confirm expected volume data is available. If boot or health fails, inspect the build/deployment logs and image release history. A root filesystem snapshot does not include persistent volumes. It is not a complete database backup. For code-only updates that should retain the environment, use incremental releases.
