+Usage: resolve-mirrored-image.sh --image <upstream-or-primary-image> [options]
+
+Required:
+  --image IMAGE                 Desired image reference to use locally.
+
+Optional:
+  --mirror-image IMAGE          Mirror image reference to check/pull/push.
+  --upstream-image IMAGE        Upstream source image to import into mirror when mirror is missing.
+  --registry-user USER          Registry username for mirror auth.
+  --registry-password-env VAR   Environment variable name containing mirror registry password/token.
+  --disable-remote-digest-check Skip remote digest freshness check for local images.
+  --local-only                  Only verify local presence; do not pull.
+  --quiet                       Suppress informational output except final image ref.
+
+Behavior:
+  1. If IMAGE exists locally and matches remote digest, use it.
+  2. Otherwise try to pull IMAGE.
+  3. If IMAGE pull fails and MIRROR_IMAGE is set, resolve via MIRROR_IMAGE.
+  4. If MIRROR_IMAGE is missing and UPSTREAM_IMAGE is set, pull upstream, push mirror, then use mirror.
+  5. Prints the resolved local image reference on stdout.
