chore: stop publishing to Docker Hub - #19
Merged

Conversation
Every Clutch service in every compose file (clutch-deploy) pulls ghcr.io/clutchprotocol/*. Nothing deployed reads from Docker Hub -- publishing there has been write-only since it was added, and it costs two secrets (DOCKERHUB_USERNAME, DOCKERHUB_TOKEN) that have to be re-added by hand every time a workflow moves between repos. That is exactly what broke the demo app's build after the clutch-hub-sdk-js merge on 2026-09-18. Not deleting the Docker Hub repo itself, and not touching the public docs that link to it -- that is a separate, slower decision. Same pass, same defect: trigger-stage-deploy carried `continue-on-error: true`. With the dispatch token missing, the job failed, the run still reported green, and stage kept serving the previous image with nothing saying so -- the same failure shape as an nginx include matching no files (see clutch-deploy/docs/ALERTING.md). The token is now checked before the dispatch, with a message naming what a failure here means: the image WAS pushed, stage will NOT deploy it. A closing step also says that an accepted dispatch is not a completed deploy, so a green tick on this job is not read as "stage is running the new image".

Missed in #19. Said CI publishes to "GHCR + Docker Hub", which stopped being true in that same PR. Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

trigger-stage-deploycarriedcontinue-on-error: true. With the dispatch token missing, the job failed, the run still reported green, and stage kept serving the previous image with nothing saying so — the same failure shape as an nginx include matching no files (clutch-deploy/docs/ALERTING.md).The token is now checked before the dispatch, with a message naming what a failure means at that moment: the image was pushed, stage will not deploy it. A closing step also states that an accepted dispatch is not a completed deploy — a green tick here means the request was accepted, not that stage is running the new image.
