    - `autoStartDevStack`: `true` starts `dev:server` (or `dev:web`) automatically when `validateBuild` finds API down
    - `git.message`, `git.branch` — used when `gitCommitPush` is enabled
    - `schemaChanged`: `true` enables prod schema migration on `full` profile
-   - `release.imageTag`: image/version tag shared between Gitea push and runtime (`latest`, `2026-07-09`, `v1.3.0`, etc.)
    - `smb.user` / `smb.password` — optional; maps `\\host\share` before image sync
    - `backupFile` — optional fixed path; otherwise uses the newest `gallery_dev_data_*.txt` after backup
 
 3. Prerequisites still apply: **`npm run dev:web` running** (Vite `:5173` + API `:3451`), Docker Desktop running, `docker login gitea.mysuperlab.netcraze.pro`, [`infra/docker/.env.prod`](../infra/docker/.env.prod) present.
    - Before migration/restore steps, verify prod DB target in `.env.prod`: `DB_NAME=gallery_prod`.
-   - Set `IMAGE_TAG=<release.imageTag>` in prod env (TrueNAS app vars or `.env.prod`) to control which pushed Gitea image tag is active.

 Version tracking:
-- Runtime version endpoint: `/api/version` (reports `app_env`, `app_version`, `image_tag`, `git_sha`, `db_name`)
-- Prod image selection: set `IMAGE_TAG` in TrueNAS app env / `infra/docker/.env.prod`
-- Release push tag: set `release.imageTag` in `infra/deploy/devtoprod.config.json`
+- Runtime version endpoint: `/api/version` (reports `app_env`, `app_version`, `image_tag`, `git_sha`, `built_at`, `db_name`)
+- `npm run prod:docker:publish` auto-creates a release tag like `20260709-155412-f72ddcc` (build time + git commit), pushes it and `latest`
+- Version metadata is baked into the Docker image; TrueNAS only needs `gallery-web:latest` with `pull_policy: always`
