+# Fetch all tags from Docker Hub or GHCR, following pagination fully — a
+# tag-heavy image (e.g. home-assistant/home-assistant, years of near-daily
+# CalVer releases) exceeds a single page, and the registry silently caps the
+# page size below whatever we ask for rather than erroring. Missing pages
+# means missing the actual latest tag: GHCR returns tags in lexicographic
+# order, so a truncated first page still returns a full page of
+# early-sorting tags and just silently drops everything after, which for
+# home-assistant produced a "latest" from ~2023 while 2026.x releases existed
+# unseen past the cutoff.
