/**
 * A registry inside the scenario.
 *
 * A sealed machine cannot reach a registry, and an image placed from an archive cannot keep its
 * digest — `docker save` of a digest reference produces an archive with no repo tag, because a
 * repo digest only exists for an image a registry served (novox/hq 04-ISSUES/009). So an image
 * pinned by digest, which is the only kind the host accepts
 * ([ADR 0006](../../02-DECISIONS/0046-the-installer-fetches-what-it-pins.md)), could not be
 * placed at all.
 *
 * The answer is a registry, and it is not a workaround for the lab: ADR 0006 names an OCI
 * registry as substrate, and ADR 0006 says a first node fetches "upstream, wherever the image
 * ordinarily lives". **This is that upstream** — scenery, like the transit router is the
 * internet ([ADR 0016](../../02-DECISIONS/0033-a-router-is-scenery-not-a-node.md)).
 *
 * The digests it serves are its own, not Docker Hub's, and that is correct rather than a
 * compromise. What ADR 0006 requires is a reference that is exact and cannot move. A digest
 * assigned by this registry is both.
