 ## Limitations
 
-- Custom template builds support base images from the declared distro families: **Debian/Ubuntu** (apt), the **RHEL family** — Fedora, CentOS Stream, Rocky, Alma — (dnf/microdnf/yum), **TencentOS Server** 3+ and **OpenCloudOS** 8+ (dnf/microdnf/yum; TencentOS Server 2.x repos lack socat, fuse3, nftables and jq, so its builds fail at package install), **Arch** (pacman), and **Alpine** (apk, OpenRC). The distro is resolved from the image's `/etc/os-release` `ID` — never by probing for package managers. Images without an os-release identity (distroless, scratch) or from an undeclared family are rejected fast, with a build-log error naming the reason and the supported families (see `pkg/template/build/phases/base/distro`). Minimal/restricted-repo images may fail provisioning if their repos don't carry the required packages; the failure is surfaced in the build log.
+- Custom template builds support base images from the declared distro families: **Debian/Ubuntu** (apt), the **RHEL family** — Fedora, CentOS Stream, Rocky, Alma — (dnf/microdnf/yum), **TencentOS Server** 3+ and **OpenCloudOS** 8+ (dnf/microdnf/yum; TencentOS Server 2.x repos lack socat, fuse3, nftables and jq, so its builds fail at package install), **Kylin** Linux Advanced Server V10 (dnf/microdnf/yum; its repos ship `shadow` rather than `shadow-utils`), **Arch** (pacman), and **Alpine** (apk, OpenRC).

 - Sandboxes always boot the kernel E2B supplies, never one from the base image: `/lib/modules` is empty, no kernel modules can be loaded, and SELinux is disabled on the kernel command line (`selinux=0`), so a base image that ships an SELinux policy boots without it. `kernel-devel` from a distro's repos resolves against a kernel that isn't running. **RHEL** (`rhel`, incl. UBI), **Oracle Linux** (`ol`) and **Amazon Linux** (`amzn`) are therefore not accepted even though they are RPM/dnf images — they are chosen for kABI, signed kernel modules and UEK, which this cannot honour. The community rebuilds above are supported because they are chosen for the userland.
