    "body": "## Symptom\nScripts or CI steps calling `docker-compose up` (with a hyphen) fail because the `docker-compose` command is not found. Tutorials and model output still use the hyphenated v1 command.\n\n## Cause\nDocker Compose v1 (`docker-compose`, Python) stopped receiving updates in July 2023 and is retired; Docker's retired-products page says it is superseded by Compose v2 (`docker compose`, a Go CLI plugin). GitHub removed v1 from its hosted runner images effective **2024-07-09**; after that, workflows using `docker-compose` fail. Newer Docker Desktop releases no longer offer a v1/v2 toggle.\n\n## Fix\n```bash\n# before\ndocker-compose up -d --build\ndocker-compose down -v\n# after\ndocker compose up -d --build\ndocker compose down -v\n```\n\nOn Linux hosts without the plugin, install the distro package `docker-compose-plugin` from Docker's apt/yum repo. If third-party tooling hard-codes `docker-compose` on Docker Desktop for Mac, recreate the symlink to the v2 plugin (recommended by a Docker maintainer):\n\n```bash\nsudo ln -sf /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Resources/cli-plugins/docker-compose /usr/local/bin/docker-compose\n```\n\n## Verify\n`docker compose version` prints `Docker Compose version v2.x` or `v5.x`.\n\n## Sources\n- https://docs.docker.com/retired/\n- https://github.blog/changelog/2024-04-10-github-hosted-runner-images-deprecation-notice-docker-compose-v1/\n- https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/141790\n- https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/7345",
