#19341 Docker publish does not write metadata to dist Issue created by bobthemighty Describe the bug

pants package

causes a docker target to write a metadata json including the tags and registries for the new image.

pants publish

reports that it has created the metadata file in the sandbox, but the file is never written back to dist. This means I can't use it for fetching the tag I've just published and, since my tags contain timestamps, I can't package then publish. Pants version 2.16.0rc5 pantsbuild/pants
