### Updates

- [Docker Model Runner v1.1.36](https://github.com/docker/model-runner/releases/tag/v1.1.36)
- containerd to [v2.2.3](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/tag/v2.2.3)
- [Runc v1.3.5](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/releases/tag/v1.3.5)
- [Docker Compose v5.1.3](https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/tag/v5.1.3)
- [Docker Agent v1.44.0](https://github.com/docker/docker-agent/releases/tag/v1.44.0)

### Bug fixes and enhancements

#### For all platforms

- Docker Model Runner is now disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled in **Settings**. When enabled, TCP host-side support is automatically active.
- Fixed an issue where downloading a Docker Desktop update would fail without a clear error if the disk had insufficient free space.
- Fixed an issue where Docker Scout tag recommendations when inspecting an image failed when the base image digest or repository name was empty.
- Added a **Switch to local Docker context** button on the sign-in screen, allowing users in a cloud context to switch back to their local context without signing in.
- Added a dedicated **Stopped** status screen for the cloud engine so users see a clear stopped state instead of an error screen when transitioning away from Docker Offload.

#### For Mac

- Fixed issue where error tracking would temporarily continue sending session data directly after user disabled analytics. Fixes [docker/for-mac#7768](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/7768).

#### For Windows

- Fixed a critical issue where Docker Desktop Dashboard failed to open with `ERR_FAILED` errors caused by process hardening policies conflicting with Chromium.
- Fixed a bug where Kubernetes could fail to start on WSL 2 when `HTTP_PROXY` environment variables are set in WSL 2 itself.
- Fixed a bug in Enhanced Container Isolation (ECI) that was causing loss of container `rootfs` persistence across Docker Desktop restarts, when using WSL.
