   ## 📝 Documentation Update
   
   I've added documentation to clarify the relationship between this 
Maven-based Docker build and the tika-grpc-docker repository:
   
   ### What's New
   
   **tika-grpc/docker-build/README.md** now includes a section explaining:
   - This Maven build is for **development and testing** of unreleased features
   - The [tika-grpc-docker](https://github.com/apache/tika-grpc-docker) 
repository is for **production deployments** using GPG-signed releases
   - Clear guidance on when to use each approach
   
   **tika-grpc/README.md** now includes:
   - A note directing users to tika-grpc-docker for production use once Tika 
4.0.0 is released
   
   ### Why This Matters
   
   Since tika-grpc will first be released in Tika 4.0.0, it's important to 
clarify that:
   - **Now (pre-release):** Use this Maven build or `build-from-branch.sh` to 
build from source
   - **Future (post-4.0.0):** Use tika-grpc-docker which downloads and verifies 
GPG-signed release JARs from Apache mirrors
   
   This aligns with Apache best practices where official release images should 
be built from GPG-verified artifacts, not from source code.
   
   ### Related PR
   
   I've also created a complementary PR in tika-grpc-docker: 
https://github.com/apache/tika-grpc-docker/pull/1
   
   This ensures both repositories have consistent documentation and are 
prepared for the Tika 4.0.0 release.
