Ensure the Feature is published and accessible from your current environment.' / 'ERR: Failure resolving Features.' / 'Circular dependency … ## Body 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 '. - ERR: Failure resolving Features. - Circular dependency detected! - Failed to compute Feature installation order! Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devcontainers/cli/5dc7533314b5ba7ec3875c30143dfe1aec644870/src/spec-configuration/containerFeaturesConfiguration.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Logs "Could not resolve Feature manifest for ''. If necessary, provide registry credentials with 'docker login '." and "Could not resolve Feature ''.
