Docker Compose v2 + Docker Engine 23+: Bundled by Default

Docker Compose v2 + Docker Engine 23.0+

Docker Engine 23.0+ includes Docker Compose v2 as a built-in plugin accessible via `docker compose` (no hyphen). BuildKit is also enabled by default from Engine 23.0. No separate installation needed. Verify Compose is present: `docker compose version`. The old `docker-compose` binary (v1) is not present unless separately installed.
