## Title

    Proposed fix: [Rootless Docker] '[rootlesskit:parent] error: failed to setup UID/GID map: failed to compute uid/gid map: No subuid ranges found for user' / pull fails 'lchown <FILE>: invalid argument'

## Body

    Recommended action: Install newuidmap/newgidmap (uidmap package), ensure /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid each have >=65,536 entries for the user, and enable unprivileged user namespaces (kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1, user.max_user_namespaces>0) via sysctl.
    
    Option: Configure subordinate IDs and userns [evidence: official_recommended_action]
    Applies when: Rootless Docker setup failures
    Steps:
    1. sudo apt-get install -y uidmap (provides newuidmap/newgidmap)
    2. Ensure 'user:100000:65536' style entries in /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid
    3. echo kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/99-rootless.conf; sudo sysctl --system
    4. Restart the rootless daemon
    Expected: Daemon starts and pulls succeed
