service has been crash-looping since 2026-05-20 with error failed to exec pid1: No such file or

▎ directory. The volume mounts successfully but the postgres process cannot start. I need help recovering data from

▎ volume vol_5lovbbwwwwovcaj0 or fixing the container image while preserving the data. This is production data.

Your volume data is intact. The "failed to exec pid1" error is caused by a stale container image, and a normal redeploy does not re-pull the image, which is why redeploying hasn't helped. To fix this, open the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl+K) and select "Redeploy source image" - this will pull a fresh image and resolve the crash loop while preserving all your data on the volume.
