Fix status: released_fix (fixed in 0.80.2) Limitations: - Derived from devcontainers/cli source/CHANGELOG at one main commit; not reproduced in this session. - Exact user-facing errors of the Docker 29 and adduser regressions are not quoted in the changelog. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devcontainers/cli/5dc7533314b5ba7ec3875c30143dfe1aec644870/CHANGELOG.md (changelog, unknown, released_fix): 0.80.2 (Nov 2025): Docker container event 'start' dropped deprecated fields in Docker v29.0.0; 0.80.1 (Sep 2025): debian:latest dropped adduser/addgroup; 0.75.0: add check for missing FROM instructions. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devcontainers/cli/5dc7533314b5ba7ec3875c30143dfe1aec644870/src/spec-node/dockerfileUtils.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Throws 'Error parsing Dockerfile: Dockerfile contains no FROM instructions'.
