Research direction
Read SUPPORT_POLICY.md first to confirm the September 2026 date. Then locate the Debian 12 image build definitions and the existing warning path; done means removing all Debian 12 builds, tagging every affected image as deprecated, and notifying users on the mailing list and Slack.
