r10k container stalls after several days on GKE (pod remains Running)

[isaackwame1]

Summary
We’re running voxpupuli/r10k:5.0.0-main on GKE and seeing the container stall after a few days. The pod remains Running with no CPU/memory pressure, but r10k stops progressing until the pod is restarted.

Environment

• Image: voxpupuli/r10k:5.0.0-main
• Platform: GKE
• Workload:
  • Previously CronJob
  • Now Deployment running r10k in a loop
• Resources: Adequate (no throttling/OOM/events)

Behavior

• Runs normally for several days
• Eventually hangs (logs stop, no errors)
• Pod does not crash
• Restart resolves temporarily

Question
Is this image intended only for short-lived execution?
Any known issues or recommended Kubernetes usage pattern to avoid silent stalls?
Happy to provide pod spec/logs if needed.
