 ## [Unreleased]
 
 <!-- core-ops-release:start -->
+### Changed

+- Fix `examples/03-immich` postgres image tag (`:16` -> `:16-vectorchord0.3.0-pgvector0.8.0-pgvectors0.2.0`); the previous tag did not exist on `ghcr.io/immich-app/postgres` and prevented the canonical Immich walkthrough from applying end-to-end on a clean host.
