Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR updates the nic-configuration-operator component version from the semantic version tag network-operator-v26.1.0-beta.7 to commit SHA acbfe66 from the network-operator-26.1.x branch. The changes are applied consistently across the release configuration (hack/release.yaml) and example manifests for both standard and OpenShift deployments.

Key observations:

• Updated both operator and daemon images to use commit SHA acbfe66
• STIG FIPS variants (Ubuntu and RHEL) remain at network-operator-v26.1.0-beta.7-stig-fips-* versions
• Changes follow the automated CI pattern for component updates
• Version format differs from semantic versioning used by other components in the same file

Confidence Score: 3/5

• This PR is moderately safe but requires verification of intentional version inconsistencies
• The changes are straightforward version updates following an automated CI pattern. However, the score is reduced to 3 due to: (1) version format inconsistency - using commit SHA instead of semantic versioning, (2) version mismatch between main variants (commit SHA) and STIG FIPS variants (semantic version), and (3) lack of context on whether the commit SHA approach is intentional or indicates an incomplete build process
• Pay attention to hack/release.yaml to verify the version mismatch between main and STIG FIPS variants is intentional

hack/release.yaml
Verify the version mismatch is intentional: STIG FIPS variants still use semantic version network-operator-v26.1.0-beta.7-stig-fips-* while main variants were updated to commit SHA acbfe66.
