Apple's open-source `container` CLI to build, run, and manage OCI/Linux containers as
lightweight per-container VMs on Apple-silicon macOS — no Docker daemon required. Use when
the user mentions the `container` CLI, "apple container", running or building containers on
macOS without Docker/Podman, `container run`, `container build`, `container images`,
`container system start`, pushing/pulling images to a registry, or container networking on
macOS. This is Apple's `container` tool specifically (repo `apple/container`), NOT Docker,
Podman, containerd, nerdctl, or Kubernetes — the CLI is Docker-like but is a different tool.
