Quick brief

Use hadolint when an agent is reviewing Dockerfiles before build or release. It can flag risky base-image choices, bad package installation patterns, missing cleanup, and shell mistakes that make container images less secure or less reproducible. The boundary is Dockerfile review before image creation, not a generic container platform or registry listing.
