Root cause: storage.filesystem.maxsize (5GiB) caused Docker Registry to
delete blob data while keeping metadata. Registry then served 200 OK with
correct Content-Length but 0 bytes body. nginx cached these broken responses.
Fixes:
- Remove maxsize from dockerhub/ghcr proxy configs (rely on weekly GC)
- nginx: don't cache 206 responses, require 2 requests before caching
- Wiped corrupted cache on registry VM and fixed corrupted pause container
blobs on node3/node4
Replace deprecated wildcard containerd mirror with per-registry
config_path approach. Add proxy containers for ghcr.io, quay.io,
registry.k8s.io, and reg.kyverno.io on the docker-registry VM.
Set static IP for docker-registry VM to avoid DHCP issues.
