Subject: [PATCH] Fix registry search 500: handle non-JSON Harbor fixture
 response

Harbor fixture returns plain text, not JSON. The RegistrySearchEndpoints
deserialization crashed with an unhandled JsonException causing 500 on
every /api/v1/registries/images/search request. This blocked the release
creation wizard at Step 2 (Components).

Fix: catch JsonException and return empty results gracefully. The release
wizard now shows "no results" instead of silently failing.
