[Bug]: container image pull pulls windows image/too many images/layers

[ldemailly]

I have done the following

• I have searched the existing issues
• If possible, I've reproduced the issue using the 'main' branch of this project

Steps to reproduce

container image pull golang:1.24.5

(x of 115 blobs, y MB/7.6 GB, z MB/s)

7.6 GB !!

https://hub.docker.com/_/golang/tags?name=1.24.5

it must be because it tries to pull :

the two giant windows images instead of just the linux ones (afaik it can't run the windows ones, can it?)

Current behavior

Giant download takes forever and gets things one can't use

Expected behavior

Just the linux images, or even maybe just the local platform by default

note that

container image pull --platform linux/arm64/v8 golang:1.24.5

does pull only ~200mb as expected

Environment

- OS: 15.5 (24F74)
- Xcode: 
- Container: container CLI version 0.3.0 (build: release, commit: 3fcf647)

@adityaramani is this a dupe of #83?

[ldemailly]

ah yes probably, sorry I didn’t see that when searching for size, windows etc

Note though that I mean here to not pull other os than linux vs only the local platform arch but could be combined
