## Summary Local self-hosted deploys (`trigger deploy --local-build --push --builder orbstack` or any other buildx setup using the **docker** driver) fail at the push step with: ``` ERROR: failed to build: failed to solve: exporter option "rewrite-timestamp" conflicts with "unpack" ``` The docker driver auto-enables `unpack=true` when pushing, and that's incompatible with `rewrite-timestamp` (which the CLI sets for reproducible-build hashing). Adds a simple env-var opt-out so contributors can keep using their default builder. The flag is only read by the local-build code path; remote/cloud builds are unaffected. ```bash TRIGGER_BUILD_SKIP_REWRITE_TIMESTAMP=1 \ pnpm exec trigger deploy --profile default --local-build --push --builder orbstack ``` The trade-off: skipping `rewrite-timestamp` means layer timestamps reflect actual build time, so two identical builds produce different layer hashes. Fine for a local-dev registry; the only real consumer of timestamp-stability is registry-layer cache hit rates. ## Test plan - [x] Manual: ran `trigger deploy --profile default --local-build --push --builder orbstack` against the localhost webapp + a local Docker registry on port 5001 — first failed with the rewrite-timestamp/unpack error, then succeeded after setting `TRIGGER_BUILD_SKIP_REWRITE_TIMESTAMP=1`. - [x] Full chat.agent smoke sweep (15 tests, including suspend/resume, deepResearch subtask, AgentChat orchestrator) against the deployed image — all pass. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
