Rewrite README with image version table and clearer build/dev instructions
Bump rubocop 1.85.1 → 1.86.0

Dynamic arch detection in build.rake (overridable via ARCH=amd64)
Echo full docker command before each build task runs

Fix docs site links missing GitHub Pages base path prefix (/docker-base-images)

bin/check-versions — unified version checker for Ruby + Node using Strategy pattern
Split VersionChecker, RubyChecker, NodeChecker into separate files under lib/
Block-scoped regex replacements to prevent gsub collisions across version entries
apply! raises on unmatched replacements instead of silently skipping
track_files in SimpleCov config to catch untested lib files

GitHub Pages documentation site with Sinatra + Parklife static build

lib/site_manifest.rb - manifest data layer for the documentation site
deploy-docs.yml workflow for automatic GitHub Pages deployment
SiteManifest: use .except('globals') instead of destructive .delete

Node 25: 25.3.0 → 25.6.0
Orphan directory cleanup during generation - prompts before removing directories no longer in manifest (auto-confirms in non-TTY/CI environments)
.generated.yml tracks generated directories for cleanup detection
Add native architecture build instructions to README

CI gate job for stable branch protection check
Ruby 4.0 support (4.0.1)
{major}-dev tag for Ruby images (e.g., ruby:3.3-dev) - now matches Node pattern
Merge jobs to create multi-arch manifests after platform-specific builds
