feat: run the Docker driver as a launched external driver by default #5389
As an OpenShell Maintainer I want the desktop drivers to exist in their own repository so that their ownership and maintenance can be considered separately to core OpenShell. Docker has to run as a separate process first.
Problem Statement
The Docker driver is compiled into the gateway binary. CI runs it as an external driver (docker-external-driver-e2e), but only as an operator-managed process that does not go through the launcher, and the additional-CA e2e refuses to run with an external driver.
Impact / Why This Matters
Moving Docker to a separate repository requires that a default install launches it as an external process without losing features.
Proposed Design
Build openshell-driver-docker as a standalone binary on the new contract and make it the default, keeping the linked-factory feature for one release as a fallback. The driver validates its own config. Driver names, auto-detect order, and config tables are unchanged.
Acceptance Criteria
Existing Docker e2e suites pass on the external path.
docker-additional-ca-e2e passes against the launched driver, and the wrapper script's "in-process only" guard is removed.
Create and streaming latency are recorded against the linked path.
Driver names, auto-detect order, and config tables work as before.
Alternatives Considered
Keep Docker linked until it moves. Defers the work, but the move itself then needs the launcher and the behavior change at once.
Agent Investigation
e2e/with-docker-gateway.sh exits with an error if the additional-CA mode is combined with OPENSHELL_E2E_EXTERNAL_COMPUTE_DRIVER.
