The scheduled mirror job has failed every day since 2026-09-25 on the same two
images: quay.io/minio/minio and quay.io/minio/mc answer `unauthorized` to
anonymous pulls ("2/197 failed", run 38352569503). Both belong to
web-app-minio, an eol role outside the lifecycle envelope that default.env
tests, so no CI deploy pulls them.
iter_role_images now skips every role that is_maintained() reports as
unmaintained, the check the version updaters already apply to the same list.
On the tree the discovery yields 187 images instead of 192; the five it drops
belong to the four eol roles web-app-confluence, web-app-jira, web-app-minio
and web-app-phpldapadmin. The mirror sync, resolver and wait read this list,
and their descriptions and mirror.md now say so.
The roles directory is resolved first: is_maintained reads a relative path as
a role name and would keep every role.
475ab9b386 on feature/store-i18n takes the same approach with a lifecycle
reader of its own; main already has is_maintained for it.

0a3da88912 closed the EOL contract at the declaration level: the four retired
roles carry `enabled: false`, an end-of-life README banner and three lints.
iter_role_images still enumerated their images, so the mirror job kept trying
to copy tags nobody can consume. MinIO's quay tags answer 401 to anonymous
pulls and exist nowhere else, which failed that job on every run while no
deploy could have reached the result: an eol role sits outside the lifecycle
envelope default.env tests.
role_lifecycle() reads the stage off the one entry that carries a `lifecycle`
field, which is the role's primary service, and iter_role_images skips the
retired ones. Measured against the tree: 202 images, with web-app-confluence,
web-app-jira, web-app-minio and web-app-phpldapadmin all absent.
test_version_pins_are_watched.py gains the same skip. utils/update/docker.py:271
builds its watched set from iter_role_images, so dropping the retired roles
there made their `version:` pins look unwatched and the lint went red on three
of them. The coherent reading is that a role no updater can reach cannot
declare a watcher either, and the lint docstring now says so rather than
claiming every pin.
