Fixes #648, the first approach from the issue.

A mirror run that finds an image blob cached now sets artifacts.mirrored_at. Retention ages a blob from the latest of fetched_at, last_accessed_at and mirrored_at, so an image that mirror.schedules keeps current stays cached while no client pulls it. LRU eviction for max_size still reads last_accessed_at only, and a run still counts no cache hits, as #508 decided (TestMirrorImageCountsNoCacheHits is unchanged).

• Migration 022_add_artifact_mirrored_at adds the column. Refresh the most used packages in the background #645 also uses 022; whichever lands later gets renumbered.
• mirrored_at isn't in the artifact JSON.
• Docs: one sentence in the Retention section.

Tests: a scheduled image whose blobs are aged past a 14-day cutoff is a retention candidate before the second run and not after it, and ExpiredBefore covers mirrored before and after the cutoff.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Cached blobs found during scheduled mirror runs are now protected from age-based retention removal. They remain subject to size-based eviction.
• Documentation
  • Clarified how scheduled mirror runs affect age-based and size-based retention. Other retention rules are unchanged.

Walkthrough

Artifact retention now considers when a mirror run last found a cached blob. The container mirror records that timestamp on cache hits, without changing the access timestamp used for LRU eviction.

Changes: Scheduled image retention

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Mirrored timestamp storage internal/database/types.go, internal/database/schema.go	The artifact model and SQLite and PostgreSQL schemas include a nullable mirrored_at timestamp. Migration 022_add_artifact_mirrored_at adds the column to existing databases when it is absent.
Mirror-aware expiration internal/database/retention.go, internal/database/retention_test.go	Retention expiration checks whether mirrored_at is at or after the cutoff. Candidate and conditional-clear queries use the expanded expiration condition. Tests cover mirror timestamps before and since the cutoff.
Recording cached mirror hits internal/database/retention.go, internal/handler/handler.go, internal/handler/container_mirror.go, internal/handler/container_mirror_test.go, docs/configuration.md	On a cached blob, the mirror records mirrored_at through Proxy.MarkMirrored. The database updates the timestamp only when the artifact has a storage path. The integration test checks that a second mirror run removes aged artifacts from the retention-candidate set. The retention documentation describes the age and max_size behavior.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 0f268

Cached mirror hits refresh retention age without changing LRU eviction. No merge-blocking risk introduced by this change remains.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 0f268

Scheduled images can remain cached longer without gaining protection from size-based eviction. No new exploitable path was established. Concurrent updates and mixed-version deployment behavior leave limited residual uncertainty.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The changed outcome is longer retention of cached OCI blobs reached through existing mirror operations. It does not exempt those bytes from the configured size limit: upstream artifacts remain counted and eligible for size-based eviction.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Caller-selected image references still undergo name and reference validation and configured upstream selection before reaching the new write. The existing mirror API remains opt-in and requires a JSON request; that content-type check is a browser-request control, not authentication.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Retention repeats the freshness predicate when conditionally clearing the exact artifact and storage path. A zero-row update queues nothing; a successful clear and its deletion-queue insertion commit together. A mark arriving after clearing cannot restore the cache reference because marking requires a non-null storage path.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #648 requires a separate mirror timestamp so scheduled mirror runs protect cached blobs from retention without changing LRU behavior. The diff adds mirrored_at to the schemas and migration, records it when mirrorBlob finds a cached blob, and includes it in ExpiredBefore, retention candidate selection, and conditional clearing. LRU code remains unchanged, and the cached path still returns zero bytes and does not count a cache hit. Tests cover timestamps before and after the cutoff and a second scheduled mirror run.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed files support issue #648. The migration, schema and artifact field persist the timestamp. The handler, retention logic, tests, and retention documentation implement or describe the requested behavior. No unrelated production behavior appears in the reviewed diff.
