+# The push goes to ipcr-push-85-17-246-67.nip.io, the box's own address, not ipcr-push-watch.nsl.sh: Cloudflare fronts
+# *.watch.nsl.sh and refuses any request over 100 MB (413), which a large image layer is.
+# That host's certificate is signed by the box's private Mesh Router CA, given to buildkit from
+# the IPCR_CA_PEM repo variable. docker login would make the job's Docker daemon check the
+# certificate without that CA, so the login is written straight into ~/.docker/config.json.
 # The runner's job image (node:22-bookworm) has no docker CLI, so the static one is
 # installed first; buildx installs itself. No `type=gha` cache: the runner has none.
