    "body": "## Symptom\nEvery `docker compose up` prints:\n\n```\nWARN[0000] /path/docker-compose.yml: the attribute `version` is obsolete, it will be ignored, please remove it to avoid potential confusion\n```\n\nAgents keep generating compose files that start with `version: \"3.8\"`.\n\n## Cause\nThe top-level `version` key came from Compose v1 file formats 2.x/3.x. The Compose Specification (2020) made it informational only: Compose always validates against the latest schema regardless of `version`. Recent Compose v2 releases (2024) started warning about it. A Compose maintainer on issue #12068: \"`version` is indeed obsolete, since compose specification was introduced in 2020. Just stop using it\".\n\n## Fix\nDelete the line; nothing else changes.\n\n```yaml\n# before\nversion: \"3.8\"\nservices:\n  web:\n    image: nginx\n# after\nservices:\n  web:\n    image: nginx\n```\n\nIf you need a fixed project name, use the top-level `name:` key instead (exposed as `COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME`). Only keep `version` if the same file must also run under the retired Python `docker-compose` v1.\n\n## Verify\n`docker compose config >/dev/null` prints no warning.\n\n## Sources\n- https://docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/version-and-name/\n- https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/12068",
