Pull request overview
This PR implements a comprehensive Docker/Podman socket detection system with platform-specific logic and enhanced error handling. The implementation replaces the simple determineDockerHost function with a more robust detection mechanism that validates socket connectivity and supports multiple container runtimes.
Key Changes:
- Added platform-specific socket detection with support for Docker, Podman, and various Docker Desktop alternatives (Colima, OrbStack, Lima, Rancher Desktop)
- Implemented socket validation with timeout and connection testing to ensure detected sockets are actually working
- Added caching mechanism to avoid repeated detection attempts
