Running immich cli inside docker container - exec not found

This appears to have started after the 1.139.2 release, but I can't be 100% sure. I have a task that runs nightly to import photos from a specific folder. It does two things: first it logs in and then it imports. This was working fine up until the 23rd (immich is automatically updated by watchtower). Starting on the 23rd, I get this error:

OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: exec: "immich": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: exec: "immich": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: exec: "immich": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: exec: "immich": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown


Here are the commands run via task scheduler on my Synology:

docker exec --user root Immich-SERVER immich login-key http://10.0.100.140:8212/api xxxxxxx
docker exec --user root Immich-SERVER immich upload --recursive /import
docker exec --user root Immich-SERVER immich login-key http://10.0.100.140:8212/api xxxxxxx
docker exec --user root Immich-SERVER immich upload --recursive /import
