Cause (Documented platform behavior): Validator rejects base_image containing ghcr.io/openhands/agent-server and requires exactly one of the two fields.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- Exactly one of 'base_image' or 'server_image' must be set.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Workspace construction fails with a validation error.
- Context
- Product: OpenHands (software-agent-sdk) Component: DockerDevWorkspace Operation: Passing ghcr.io/openhands/agent-server:* as base_image Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Packages: openhands-workspace unknown Trigger: base_image is meant for building an agent-server on top of an arbitrary base; prebuilt server images go in server_image. Setting both/neither also fails.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [OpenHands SDK] 'base_image cannot be a pre-built agent-server image. Use server_image=... instead.'
Recommended action: Use server_image='ghcr.io/openhands/agent-server:<tag>' for prebuilt images; base_image only for custom bases.
Option: Use server_image='ghcr.io/openhands/agent-server:<tag>' for prebuilt images; base_image only for custom bases. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Passing ghcr.io/openhands/agent-server:* as base_image
Steps:
1. If using a prebuilt agent-server image: server_image=...
2. If you need your own toolchain: base_image=<your image> (built on the fly)
3. Set only one of the two
Expected: The error no longer appears.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
