Merge the "bugfix/disable-implicit-docker-tags" branch into the "develop-v1+node24" branch

This merge updates `.github/workflows/deployment.yml` on the `develop-v1+node24` line to disable implicit Docker metadata tag generation in every `docker/metadata-action@v5` invocation used by the deployment workflow. The workflow now adds explicit `flavor:` configuration so release and promotion metadata only emit the intended tags instead of generating an implicit `latest` tag.

In `Extract metadata (tags, labels)`, the workflow now adds `flavor:` with `latest=false` so tag builds only emit the explicit version tag derived from `type=ref,event=tag`. In `Normalize tag (match tag)` and `Normalize promote name (floating tag)`, it adds the same `flavor:` setting so manual promotion source and destination normalization only emit the explicit `workflow_dispatch` tag inputs.

No other files or workflow jobs are modified by this merge.
