Report #10889

[bug\_fix] ERROR: multiple platforms feature is currently not supported for docker driver. Please switch to a different driver.

Create and use a \`docker-container\` driver for buildx: \`docker buildx create --name mybuilder --use\`, then trigger the build again.

Journey Context:
A developer tries to build a multi-architecture image using \`docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64\`. The command immediately fails, stating the docker driver doesn't support multiple platforms. They check their Docker Desktop version—it's the latest. They assume buildx is broken. The rabbit hole involves reinstalling Docker and messing with QEMU. The root cause is that the default \`buildx\` driver is \`docker\`, which uses the legacy builder components integrated into the Docker daemon, which cannot build multi-platform images in a single run. Creating a \`docker-container\` driver spins up a dedicated BuildKit container, which has full multi-platform support via QEMU and cross-compilation toolchains. The fix works because it explicitly provisions the required isolated BuildKit environment.
