From aed6a38983bbaf9d019d3fc35824d79b3c18e736 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexa Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 07:59:39 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] docs(subscription): rewrite _index.md with plan type overview Replace the minimal subscription landing page with a structured overview that explains Docker Core vs product-based plan types, unit-based top-ups (seats, licenses, minutes, repositories), and support add-on tiers. Updates title, description, keywords, weight, and aliases. Retains the existing grid_subscriptions front matter and card links unchanged.
