This is likely an issue with your Docker image" — Alpine/musl images unsupported (runtime needs glibc) ## Body Cause (Documented platform behavior): The agent runtime requires glibc; musl-based images are not compatible. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Documentation example response; exact titles in production may vary. - Not reproduced in this session. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/warpdotdev/docs/ea88fecd0489a6fd27645b881a22332ef7ffd5b0/src/content/docs/reference/cli/troubleshooting.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): CLI troubleshooting says this error typically means a musl libc image; switch to glibc-based images. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/warpdotdev/docs/ea88fecd0489a6fd27645b881a22332ef7ffd5b0/src/content/docs/platform/environments/troubleshooting-environments.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Environments troubleshooting: runtime requires glibc; Alpine and musl images unsupported.
