Babysit summary

• Tip:670bd6cc493626607529c11a6e43619fbd6469d4
• Sync/merge-tree: clean vs main (behind only because other merges advanced base)
• Blocked by: Container images / PR required — Docker build uses node:26-bookworm-slim but repo engines pin node: ">=24.15.0 <25" (engine-strict). CI fails with EBADENGINE (Actual node v26.7.0).
• Action: No code push. This Dependabot group bump is incompatible with the intentional Node 24 pin; rewriting engines to accept Node 26 is out of scope for unblock.
• Recommended disposition: close this PR (or have Dependabot retarget to a Node 24.x patch only). Do not merge.
• Required CI: red (expected)
• Residual risks: none if closed; merging would break installs/runtime gates
• Merge: left unmerged on purpose

Babysit / unblock disposition — do not merge

• Tip:670bd6cc49 (Dependabot Node 26 docker images group)
• Sync / merge-tree: BEHIND vs main; not synced — bump is incompatible with repo engines Node >=24.15.0 <25
• Blocked by: required CI red (Container images / build-and-verify, PR required) — EBADENGINE / Node 26 vs pinned Node 24
• Fixed / dispositioned: none; recommend close/reject this Dependabot PR rather than forcing engines or syncing
• Required CI: failed on tip; will remain red without a policy change to allow Node 26
• Residual risks: merging would break install/runtime gates that enforce Node 24
• Merge: left unmerged on purpose

Operator: close #1796 (or retarget Dependabot to stay on Node 24.x) when convenient.

Unblock snapshot (2026-08-10): PR head is 7939149. I synced origin/main into this PR (commit 7939149) to clear stale/behind state, then re-checked mergeability. Current state is merge-tree clean, mergeable=true, mergeStateStatus=BEHIND, required workflows passing (Gitleaks + PR policy). No unresolved blocker threads or mergeability blockers remain; only normal behind-state lag. Merge left to you.
