# Every container_name carries the dozzle_e2e_ prefix so filters can match test
# containers exactly and nothing else on a dev machine leaks into the snapshots.
# The fixed project name makes a leftover run from another worktree get recreated
# instead of blocking the next one with name conflicts.
# No host ports are published: playwright reaches every instance by service name on
# the compose network, so a run never collides with whatever else is on the machine.

# Deliberately no healthcheck: this container is the subject of the visual
# snapshots, and a healthcheck makes a health badge appear in the sidebar
# (HostMenu.vue), which shifts the reference images.
# The only service that builds. Every other dozzle instance runs this same
# image by tag, so bake makes one target instead of seven: each target used
# to export its own copy of the cache and load its own copy of the image.
# The others set pull_policy: never, or compose tries Docker Hub for the tag.
