Package Changes

GitLab Runner 19 is a major-version upgrade from 18.11.3 to 19.2.2; it does not upgrade the GitLab application.

Consumers using FF_HASH_CACHE_KEYS=true with distributed cache should expect existing cache objects to become unreachable because Runner 19 adds a shard prefix to object paths. Keep the flag consistent across runners sharing a cache and expect cache misses and cache rebuilds after upgrading. See the upstream cache key handling guidance.
GitLab Runner manager and helper images move from Iron Bank to Verified Publisher UBI/FIPS images under registry1.dso.mil/gitlab/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner and registry1.dso.mil/gitlab/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/gitlab-runner-helper. No separate Runner configuration or data migration is required for this image-source change, but Registry1 credentials, mirrors, policies, and allowlists must permit the new paths. Update custom image overrides and keep the manager and helper versions aligned per the upstream helper-image guidance.
Review the upstream GitLab Runner 19.2.2 release and Runner changelog for site-specific impacts.
