Research direction

Open the NATS image variants documentation at the linked docker-library/docs path and compare its description with the linked nats-docker scratch Dockerfile and the Alpine variant. Update the description so it accurately reflects the default image base and relative image size, then check the rendered wording in the NATS documentation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The description of the image variant is not correct anymore. The default image of Nats is based of scratch and therefore smaller than the alpine image variant.
