+"""Ensure Docker is available for molecule tests in CI.
+
+CI runners (e.g. ``gitea/runner-images:ubuntu-latest``) may have the host's
+Docker socket mounted. This module verifies Docker is accessible and
+sets ``DOCKER_HOST`` explicitly so molecule's Python docker library
+connects to the same socket as the Docker CLI.
+
+If the host socket is not available, it tries the rootless socket, then
+starts a local ``dockerd`` with the vfs storage driver (requires
+privileged container).
