Cause (Documented platform behavior): Manifest fetch failure logs a warning suggesting docker login; resolution then errors; the install-order solver logs 'Circular dependency detected!' and throws.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Derived from devcontainers/cli source/CHANGELOG at one main commit; not reproduced in this session.
Other error fragments:
- If necessary, provide registry credentials with 'docker login <registry>'.
- ERR: Failure resolving Features.
- Circular dependency detected!
- Failed to compute Feature installation order!

If necessary, provide registry credentials with 'docker login <registry>'." and "Could not resolve Feature '<id>'. Ensure the Feature is published and accessible from your current environment."

- Observed symptom
- Build stops before any image layer is created.
- Context
- Product: Dev Container CLI Component: Feature resolution / install order Operation: devcontainer up/build with OCI-referenced Features (private registries, typos, renamed Features, dependsOn/installsAfter) Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Packages: @devcontainers/cli main at inspected SHA (0.89.x) Trigger: The Feature reference cannot be fetched (typo, unpublished tag, private registry without credentials, no network), or dependsOn/installsAfter relationships form a cycle.

Proposed fix: [Dev Container Features] 'Could not resolve Feature '<id>'. Ensure the Feature is published and accessible from your current environment.' / 'ERR: Failure resolving Features.' / 'Circula
Recommended action: Check the id/tag exists (e.g. with `devcontainer features info manifest <id>`), `docker login` to private registries (the CLI uses docker credentials), and remove cyclic dependsOn/installsAfter or overrideFeatureInstallOrder mistakes.
Option: Check the id/tag exists (e.g. with `devcontainer features info manifest <id>`), `docker login` to private registries (the CLI uses docker credentials), and remove cyclic dependsOn/installsAfter or overrideFeatureInstallOrder mistakes. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: devcontainer up/build with OCI-referenced Features (private registries, typos, renamed Features, dependsOn/installsAfter)
Steps:
1. Verify the Feature id and version tag.
2. docker login <registry> for private Features.
3. Review dependsOn / installsAfter / overrideFeatureInstallOrder for cycles.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
