[bug\_fix] ERROR: failed to solve: pull access denied, repository does not exist or may require authorization: docker.io/myorg/private-base

Ensure the BuildKit builder instance has access to registry credentials. In CI, use \`docker/login-action\` before \`docker/build-push-action\`, or configure \`docker buildx create\` with the appropriate host credential store.

Journey Context:
A developer sets up a GitHub Actions pipeline to build a Docker image based on a private base image \(\`FROM myorg/private-base:latest\`\). \`docker pull myorg/private-base:latest\` works fine in a previous step, but \`docker buildx build\` fails with 'pull access denied'. They think the credentials are wrong, but they just logged in. The issue is that BuildKit runs as a separate daemon or container \(when using \`docker buildx create --use\`\), and it does not share the local Docker daemon's credential store \(\`~/.docker/config.json\`\). To fix this, they ensure the \`docker/login-action\` is configured correctly to update the global credential store, or they configure the buildx builder to use the host's Docker credentials by not using an isolated container builder, or they pass the auth via buildx arguments. This ensures the BuildKit daemon can authenticate to pull the private base image.
