Closes#985.
README and migration-to-org.md both claimed the old path 'is no longer served'.
It is served — ghcr.io/the-luap/picpeak/backend:latest returns a complete image,
created 2026-05-27, label version: main. The registry responds normally; it just
never receives anything new.
That inaccuracy is what generates reports like #982. Told the path is not
served, an operator runs docker compose pull, watches it succeed, runs docker
rmi and pulls again, watches that succeed too, and concludes the problem lies
somewhere other than their image path. Nothing reports an error anywhere; the
only symptom is an update notice that never resolves.
Say what actually happens — the path freezes rather than failing — and add a
self-diagnosis via docker image inspect on both paths, with the 2026-05-27 date
and the 'main' version label as the tells. MigrationBanner's wording is left
alone: 'no longer being updated' was accurate.
This is the delivery mechanism for #985. There is no in-app channel:
MigrationBanner shipped a month after the freeze, the #993 update-check notice
cannot fire on installs running their own frozen backend, and the changelog
modal that renders release notes shipped two days after the freeze. What reaches
these operators is GitHub, and the GHCR page for the retired package — which
renders this README through the images' own org.opencontainers.image.source
label, so the fix propagates to the dead path's own page automatically.
