Report #31260

[bug\_fix] failed to solve: failed to push \*\*\*\*: failed to authorize: failed to fetch anonymous token

Create a dedicated buildx builder instance using \`docker buildx create --use --name mybuilder\`, authenticate using \`docker login\`, and then run the build with \`--push\`.

Journey Context:
A developer runs \`docker buildx build --push -t myregistry/myimage .\` directly after installing Docker. The image builds successfully but fails to push, complaining about authorization or anonymous tokens. They run \`docker login\` again, confirming their credentials are correct, but the push still fails. They discover that the default \`docker buildx\` builder uses a \`docker-container\` driver, which runs BuildKit inside an isolated container. This isolated container does not have access to the host's Docker credential store. The fix works because creating a custom builder instance properly initializes the credential store integration for that builder container, allowing the BuildKit daemon to securely authenticate with the remote registry using the host's credentials.
