The merge that landed phase 12 built its image and could not publish it. `docker push` answered 413 Payload Too Large on one blob and stopped, so the registry stayed empty and `needs: build` meant the deploy never ran — the site was merged and undeployed, and the log said only that a digest was too large. The limit is Cloudflare's, not Gitea's: the instance is proxied, and Cloudflare refuses a request body over 100 MB below Enterprise. A push uploads each layer as one monolithic PUT, so the ceiling is per layer and the rejection happens at the edge, where Gitea never sees it and no Gitea setting can lift it. One layer was over, by nine megabytes: COPY node_modules at 108.8 MB compressed, in a 188.6 MB image whose next largest layer is the 47.6 MB Node base. @pagefind and @img (sharp's libvips) account for it and both are needed at run time — the boot rewrite re-indexes the site and re-derives the brand images — so what could move is where they land, not whether they ship. The build stage moves them aside after `npm prune` and the runtime stage copies them as their own layers: 46.8 + 50.5 + 11.5 MB, and the image is exactly the same total size, the same bytes divided differently. Moving rather than copying twice keeps the three disjoint, so a dependency added later needs no maintenance here. A split is a margin and not a guarantee, so the workflow now counts layers before it pushes: docker save, re-compress anything over 8 MB the way the push would, fail at 90 MB — not 100, the blob is not the only thing in the request — naming the layer and what would have happened. Tested in both directions; on the broken image it reports 108 MB, which is what the registry recorded. Verified by running the built container, not only by measuring it: healthy in ~25s, the mounted brand rewritten across 51 files, 50 pages re-indexed by pagefind, and the favicon served as `x-brand-source: derived:mount` — which is sharp resolving from its new layer. npm run verify is green, all eleven checks and both suites. Recorded as D58; DEPLOY.md gains the symptom and what it means for the host (nothing — the running container is untouched). Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
