FROM-scratch images (commit_container output) and registry images built
for reproducibility often omit the created field entirely. Both backends
were calling die() in that case, crashing the cached-image quickstart
before any container started.
image_created_at now returns datetime | None — None when the field is
absent or unparseable, die() only on real inspect failures (non-zero
exit, malformed JSON). stale_checks in both backends skips the staleness
check when None is returned.
