ced4568andClaude Sonnet 5 682ef2de47 feat(root04): author Containers & Docker
Adds all 8 ROOT 04 modules (why containers exist, images & containers, Docker CLI, container
networking, container storage, Dockerfile & image build, Docker Compose, containers →
Kubernetes) — 43 activities, using the nested Docker Engine Phase 6D built and tested. Modules
1, 2, and 8 are conceptual (no lab by design) — the honest bridge module (M8) explicitly names
what Kubernetes adds beyond what this course already taught, without re-teaching Kubernetes
itself.

Adds 5 new hands-on Docker scenarios plus 2 MCQs, all against the real nested Docker Engine:
docker-cli-basics (run/exec/inspect a real container), docker-container-networking (a genuine
"works internally, unreachable from host" port-publishing failure, diagnosed and fixed by
recreating the container with the correct `-p` flag), docker-container-storage (a real
destroy/recreate cycle proving named-volume persistence, not just described), docker-build-image
(a real Dockerfile, a real build, a real custom image run), and docker-compose-multiservice (a
real two-service Compose application with a real published port). All tested end-to-end via the
real scenario-validation API, including negative tests.

Wires rootnode-containers-assessment (2 required + 4 random-draw scenarios) using the existing
Phase 3B assessment engine.

This completes the entire ROOT_ Foundations sequence (ROOT 01-04) — see
docs/PHASE6E_ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_COMPLETION.md.

# Reflection: The Whole Toolkit Was Already Familiar
## Reflection questions
1. Which Docker command in this module felt like "a new version of something I already knew"
from ROOT 01 or ROOT 02? Which felt genuinely new?
2. You ran, inspected, execed into, and removed a real container this module. What's the ONE
command you'd reach for first if a container "seemed broken" and you didn't know why yet?
## Real Ops takeaway
**Every Docker command in this module is a direct translation of a Linux skill you already
had.** `docker ps` is `ps aux`. `docker logs` is reading a log file, minus the config. `docker
exec` is reaching into a running process. This is exactly why ROOT 01-02 came before ROOT 04 —
containers don't replace Linux fundamentals, they wrap them in a specific, consistent interface.
This module is complete. Continue to the next module.
## Instructor Notes
**Discussion questions for a live classroom:** question 2's honest answer is usually `docker ps`
or `docker logs` — a good moment to connect back to ROOT 02's five-question service checklist.
**Approximate timing:** 5-8 minutes live discussion; 5 minutes self-paced writing.
