Release 2026.9.24.3

2026.9.24.3 is 2026.9.24.2 plus the image build fix; 2026.9.24.2's tag never
published an image. Everything in 2026.9.24.2's notes applies.

+"""Every path Cargo patches has to be in the image's build context.
+
+Cargo.toml's [patch.crates-io] can point at a directory in this repository,
+and the Dockerfile builds from a context that .dockerignore prunes to almost
+nothing. Those two facts met on 2026-09-23: a vendored, patched sieve-rs
+landed, CI stayed green -- it builds from a checkout, where the directory is
+simply there -- and the release build failed on
+
+    failed to load source for dependency `sieve-rs`
+    failed to read /build/vendor/sieve-rs/Cargo.toml
+
+after a tag had already been pushed. This is seconds, and it runs beside the
+other fork checks rather than waiting for a release to find out.
+
+Being in the context isn't enough on its own: the Dockerfile cooks the
+dependencies (`cargo chef cook`) before it copies the tree in, from a recipe
+that carries only the workspace's manifests. So each patched path must also be
+copied into that stage before the cook step, or the same error comes back
+there -- as it did for 2026.9.24.2, the first tag after the context fix.
