+# BEP-1038: ImageV2 GQL Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+This document defines the implementation plan for `ImageV2GQL` types as part of the Strawberry GraphQL migration (BEP-1010). It specifies:
+
+1. **Types to Include** - Types that will be implemented
+2. **Types to Defer** - Types requiring Node connections (implement later)
+
+> **Note**: Enums are directly exposed from existing definitions. Mutations, Filters, and OrderBy types are out of scope for this BEP.
+
+## Document Structure
+
+| Document | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| [types-to-include.md](BEP-1038/types-to-include.md) | Detailed specifications of types to implement |
+| [types-to-defer.md](BEP-1038/types-to-defer.md) | Types requiring Node connections |
+
+## Summary
+
+### Types to Include
+
+#### Sub-Info Types (Leaf)
+- `ImageTagEntryGQL` - Tag key-value pair
+- `ImageLabelEntryGQL` - Label key-value pair
+- `ImageResourceLimitGQL` - Resource limit info
+
+#### Info Types (Grouped)
+- `ImageIdentityInfoGQL` - Identity info (canonical_name, namespace, architecture, aliases)
+- `ImageMetadataInfoGQL` - Metadata info (tags, labels, digest, size_bytes, status, created_at)
+- `ImageRequirementsInfoGQL` - Requirements info (resource_limits, supported_accelerators)
+- `ImagePermissionInfoGQL` - Permission info (permissions)
+
+#### Main Types
+- `ImageV2GQL` - Main image node type
+- `ImageEdgeGQL` - Edge type
+- `ImageConnectionV2GQL` - Connection type
+
+### Types to Defer (Node Connections)
+
+| Type/Field | Future Node | Action |
+|------------|-------------|--------|
+| `ImageV2GQL.registry` | `ContainerRegistryNode` | Return primitive string for now |
+
+## Type Structure
+
+```
+ImageV2GQL

+├── registry_id: UUID                    # Registry ID (for direct query)
+└── registry: ContainerRegistryNode      # (deferred)
+```
+
+## Implementation Checklist
+
+### PR Scope
+
+- [ ] Implement all types listed in "Types to Include"
+- [ ] Implement connection resolver with pagination
+
+### Future PRs
+
+- [ ] ContainerRegistryNode PR: Replace `registry` string with connection
+
+## References

+# ImageV2 GQL - Types to Defer
+
+These types reference entities that should be represented as proper Relay Node connections. Since the corresponding Node types are not yet implemented, these fields/types should be **omitted** or use primitive types and added later.
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+| Type/Field | Future Node | Current Action |
+|------------|-------------|----------------|
+| `ImageV2GQL.registry` | `ContainerRegistryNode` | Keep as string, replace later |
+
+---
+
+## Registry Types (Defer to ContainerRegistryNode)
+
+### ImageV2GQL.registry field
+
+**Current Action**: Keep as primitive `str` type.
+
+**Future**: Replace with `ContainerRegistryNode` connection.
+
+The `ContainerRegistryNode` will include:
+- `is_local`: Whether the registry is local
+- `project`: Project/namespace in the registry
+
+```python
+# Current implementation
+@strawberry.type(name="ImageV2")
+class ImageV2GQL(Node):
+    registry: str  # Keep as string for now
+
+# Future implementation (after ContainerRegistryNode PR)
+@strawberry.type(name="ImageV2")
+class ImageV2GQL(Node):
+    @strawberry.field
+    async def registry(self, info: strawberry.Info) -> ContainerRegistryNode | None:
+        # Load via dataloader
+        ...
+```
+
+---
+
+## Future Implementation PRs
+
+| PR | Fields to Add/Modify |
+|----|---------------------|
+| ContainerRegistryNode PR | Replace `registry: str` with `registry: ContainerRegistryNode` connection |
