heads up: main's ci was broken (the Backend CI and Backend Docker Image CI jobs) until the fixes in #969 and #974 just landed, so the red backend/docker checks on this pr are almost certainly stale, they ran against the broken main. please rebase to re-test against the now-green main: git fetch origin && git rebase origin/main && git push --force-with-lease. once it's green i'll review and merge. (if a non-backend check like Frontend CI is still red after the rebase, that part is a real issue worth a look, since frontend ci was passing on main.)
