Summary

Adds clarifying note to the custom domains documentation explaining that /v2/token authentication endpoints are expected behavior for the Docker Registry v2 API.

Context

A customer was confused and concerned when they saw JWT tokens in whitelabeled registry URLs like:

https://registry.vendorcompany.com/v2/token?service=registry.vendorcompany.com

This is actually harmless anonymous token behavior that is standard for Docker registries to allow pulling public images.

Changes

  • Added a note to the proxy registry section in docs/vendor/custom-domains.md explaining:
    • /v2/token endpoints are part of standard Docker Registry v2 API
    • Token requests are expected behavior
    • Tokens are anonymous for public images and do not contain sensitive information

Test plan

  • Review documentation for clarity and accuracy
  • Verify note formatting renders correctly
  • Confirm placement makes sense in document flow

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Add note to custom domains documentation explaining that /v2/token
authentication endpoints are expected behavior for the Docker Registry
v2 API. This helps customers understand that anonymous tokens appearing
in whitelabeled registry URLs are standard Docker registry behavior and
not a security concern.

- **Proxy registry:** Images can be proxied from external private registries using the Replicated proxy registry. By default, the proxy registry uses the domain `proxy.replicated.com`. Replicated recommends using a CNAME such as `proxy.{your app name}.com`.

:::note
The default location for the image used by the Replicated SDK Helm chart is `proxy.replicated.com/library/replicated-sdk-image`. When you configure a custom domain for the Replicated proxy registry, the SDK is pulled from that custom domain. For more information about the Replicated SDK, see [About the Replicated SDK](/vendor/replicated-sdk-overview).

I did a little reworking to make sure the info in this note was fully captured over under Use a Custom Domain for the Replicated SDK Image in Using Custom Domains. My goal was to avoid doubling up on notes. (After looking at it again, this SDK image note didn't really need to be over here anyway)
