[architecture] docker: cannot find container to restart: 3e7cfc2a9b4a4dab8d0a5b6a7b8c9d1e2f3g

The issue occurs when Docker's daemon tries to restart a container, but the container is not in the expected state \(e.g. it has been deleted or is not running\). To fix this, use \`docker ps --all\` to list all containers and check if any have the incorrect ID before attempting to restart them.

Journey Context:
While working on a Docker-based CI/CD pipeline, we encountered an unexpected error when trying to restart a container. After some investigation, we discovered that Docker's daemon was unable to find the container to restart due to its non-standard state. This led us to dig deeper into Docker's behavior and found a solution to list all containers using \`docker ps --all\`, which helped identify the issue.
