Description

Description

Given we rely on the docker socket to do :all-the-things: we need to gracefully handle the possibility that the daemon may be restarted or stopped. We should try to reconnect for some amount of time before giving up and should do so in some exponential back off.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a reconnection loop with exponential backoff for Docker daemon interactions. Look at the current Docker socket usage in the codebase and wrap it with retry logic.
