podman-compose diverges from docker-compose in ways that can't be papered over by composeCommand alone: its `port` output is a bare port number instead of a host:port pair, and it doesn't support `ps --services --filter status=running`. Rather than generalize the existing docker-compose code to handle both, add a self-contained portFromPodmanCompose used only when composeCommand resolves to podman-compose, leaving the original docker-compose logic untouched.

The retry-on-parse-error added earlier was speculative and never
confirmed necessary; drop it pending an actual repro.
cmd.includes("podman") could false-positive on a compose file/env
file named with "podman" in it, since cmd also embeds the -f/--env-file
arguments. Check the resolved executable directly instead.

I implemented this so I could test docker-compose connection scenarios without installing docker myself. Not sure there's broader interest in podman support — feedback welcome.
Summary
composeCommand()falls back topodman-composewhen neitherdocker composenordocker-composeis present.portFromPodmanCompose, used only for podman: itsportoutput is a bare port number (nothost:port), and it lacksps --services --filter status=running, so it needs its own resolution viaps --format json.Test plan
podman-compose: resolves both ports, reports failures correctly.tsc/eslintclean.
