[bug\_fix] docker buildx build succeeds but docker images shows nothing, or fails with 'docker exporter does not currently support exporting manifest list'

Append \`--load\` to the \`docker buildx build\` command, and ensure only a single platform is targeted \(e.g., \`--platform linux/amd64\`\) when loading into the local image store.

Journey Context:
A developer sets up a cross-compilation pipeline using \`docker buildx create --use\` to create a \`docker-container\` driver. They run \`docker buildx build -t myapp:latest .\`. The build logs show success, but \`docker run myapp:latest\` fails with 'No such image'. The developer is confused about where the image went. They discover that \`docker-container\` builders build inside a containerized environment and the resulting images are not automatically loaded into the local Docker daemon. They add \`--load\` to the command, but now get an error: 'docker exporter does not currently support exporting manifest list'. The root cause is that buildx defaults to building for multiple architectures if configured, and the local Docker daemon cannot load a multi-arch manifest. The fix is to specify a single architecture: \`docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t myapp:latest --load .\`.
