@@ -124,29 +124,54 @@ in the PR description, add the magic string: ``***CIRRUS: TEST IMAGES***``
This is a retained as a secondary method for tracking/auditing
creation of VM images, should it ever be needed.
-***Manual Steps:*** In order to utilize built images, their names must be upated
-in ``.cirrus.yml``. For example, if the image ``blah-1234`` was produced above:
+### ``verify_test_built_images`` Task
+
+Only runs following successful ``test_build_cache_images_task`` task. Uses
+images following the standard naming format; ***however, only runs a limited
+sub-set of automated tests***. Validating newly built images fully, requires
+updating ``.cirrus.yml``.
+
+***Manual Steps:*** Assuming `verify_test_built_images` passes, then
+you'll find the new image names displayed at the end of the
+`test_build_cache_images_task` in the `build_vm_images` output.
+For example:
+
+```
+...cut...
+==> Builds finished. The artifacts of successful builds are:

+--> ubuntu-18: A disk image was created: ubuntu-18-libpod-5699523102900224

-A new pull-request with that change, will run tasks utilizing that image.

-### ``test_built_images`` Task
-
-Only runs following successful ``test_build_cache_images_task`` task. Uses
-images following the standard naming format, with execution of
-the 'gate', 'testing' and 'rootless_testing' scripts. Validating the images
-suitability for wide-spread use.
+Take care to also update the PR description if any 'magic' phrases were used
+(they affect which tests run). In other words, you'll likely want to
+remove the ``***CIRRUS: TEST IMAGES***`` string - otherwise Cirrus-CI will
+simply build new and test again.
-### ``cache_images`` Task
+### ``build_cache_images`` Task *(Deprecated)*
Exactly the same as ``test_build_cache_images_task`` task, but only runs on
the master branch. Requires a magic string to be in the `HEAD`
