In the case where you still have an image locally, trying to build will fail with an error complaining about not being able to load metadata for the image because a HEAD request failed. So, the real question is, why isn't there a way to disable the HEAD request for loading metadata for images? Perhaps there's a way and I don't know it.

Yeah, this is the actual error that I'm running into. Metadata pages are returning 401 and bailing out of the build.

Sure? --pull=missing should be the default.

While I haven’t tried --pull=missing, I have tried --pull=never, which I assume is a stricter version and it was still attempting the HEAD request.
