docker inspect <name> resolves across every object kind, not just
containers. A module regularly names a network the same as the
container that joins it (keycloak does this today, ordinarily) — so
when the container does not exist yet but the same-named network
already does, the bare form answers with the network's JSON instead
of reporting the container absent, and the template these callers use
(.State.Running) fails to execute against it entirely.
Live on novox tonight: minio's LB container, named the same as its
network ("minio"), could never be created — every apply crashed on
"the container runtime could not say whether minio is here", stuck
since first push, because the check itself never got a clean answer.
Fixed at every call site asking a container's state by name
(containerState, inspectFound, NamesFree, raiseGiteaServer,
containerRunning) by scoping to `docker container inspect`, matching
the type-scoped form this codebase already uses correctly for
networks, volumes and images elsewhere. Also scoped the one image
inspect that was still bare (publish.go), for the same reason.
mesh-host runs as a host-level service (nox-mesh-host.service), not a
Docker module — merging this does not redeploy it. The live novox
failure persists until the service itself is rebuilt and updated.
