+
+            ## Supply chain security
+
+            This release includes:
+            - **Build provenance attestation** — verifiable record of how and where the image was built
+            - **SBOM** (Software Bill of Materials) — full inventory of packages inside the image
+
+            Verify with the GitHub CLI:
+            ```
+            gh attestation verify oci://docker.io/${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }}/${{ github.event.repository.name }}:${{ github.ref_name }} \
+              --repo ${{ github.repository }}
+            ```
+
+            Or scan for vulnerabilities using [Grype](https://github.com/anchore/grype):
+            ```
+            grype ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }}/${{ github.event.repository.name }}:${{ github.ref_name }}
+            ```
