+  <h1>Long-term support for a build cache: what is supported today</h1>
+  <p class="lede">"LTS" means a version that keeps getting fixes for a stated period, so you can stay on it. Here is what that means for FosterStack Cache today, with no promises beyond what exists.</p>
+
+  <h2>What is supported today</h2>
+  <p>The latest minor release. That is the whole policy for now, and our <a href="https://github.com/fosterstack/cache/blob/main/SECURITY.md">security policy</a> says so. There is no separate long-term-support line yet, no list of older versions that get fixes, and no support period to quote.</p>
+
+  <h2>What that means for you</h2>
+  <ul class="trust">
+    <li>To get a fix, move to the latest release. Older releases are not on the supported list.</li>
+    <li>Security patches are never withheld from the free tier.</li>
+    <li>We aim to ship fixes for dependency vulnerabilities within 48 hours of public disclosure. That is a target, not a promise.</li>
+    <li>Every published image is rescanned daily, so a vulnerability disclosed against something we already shipped raises an issue.</li>
+  </ul>
+
+  <h2>How to run it with that in mind</h2>
+  <ul class="trust">
+    <li>Pin the image to an exact version or digest, not <code>latest</code>, so a deploy never changes without you choosing it.</li>
+    <li>Upgrade on a routine. A build cache is disposable, so an upgrade that goes wrong costs you slower builds while it refills, not lost work.</li>
+    <li>Watch the repository's releases on GitHub. It is the one notice channel, and you can stop at any time. We do not collect email.</li>
+  </ul>
+
+  <h2>What we are not saying</h2>
+  <p>We are not announcing an LTS line, a support period, or a date. If one ever exists, it will be described here, in present tense, once it ships. The project is early.</p>
+
+  <p class="muted-note">Related: <a href="/how-we-build/">how releases are built and signed</a> and <a href="/verify-replacement-build-cache/">what to check in a replacement build cache</a>.</p>
