Integrating Containers in JavaScript
summary
Builds two integrations: a quick child_process + ctr CLI proof‑of‑concept that is runnable in about an hour, can pull images and start tasks but forces fragile string parsing, requires containerd/ctr on the same host and has serious input‑sanitization risks; and a deeper gRPC / containerd proto client in Node that downloads content blobs and creates image descriptors with structured error codes, which works for image content but still needs OCI spec work, TLS certs for remote use, and more wiring to create runnable containers.
