Resolve a recipe's images (docker compose config --images) and docker pull them (skip-if-present for
pinned tags) at the start of the recipe sequence + before the upgrade-new-version deploy, then the
normal abra deploy. Separates pull from converge (clear pull failures vs murky convergence timeouts),
speeds convergence (fits abra-native window). No layer re-download on warm cache; nightly all-recipes
run warms everything. Complements (not replaces) the recipe healthcheck for slow-init convergence.
Near-term Phase-2 harness unit; real abra deploy unchanged.
