Podman knowledge patch
Use this patch before changing Podman commands, configuration, Quadlets, machine workflows, Kubernetes replay, networking, storage, build automation, or REST clients. Treat defaults and output contracts as version-sensitive. Read the topic reference that matches the work instead of assuming Docker behavior or older Podman behavior.
