I love this PR a lot. I think it's definitely a step in the right direction of adding/updating documentation.
Let's get this merged soon!

| Container-Compose brings (limited) Docker Compose support to [Apple Container](https://github.com/apple/container), allowing you to define and orchestrate multi-container applications on Apple platforms using familiar Compose files. This project is not a Docker or Docker Compose wrapper but a tool to bridge Compose workflows with Apple's container management ecosystem. | ||

This project aims to bridge Compose workflows with Apple's container management ecosystem. _It is not a Docker or Docker Compose wrapper._ |

One interesting thing to note is that it does not wrap around the command executable itself but rather links in the commands as a shared library. I don't know if we want to make that distinction here but it's something to consider.

Currently,
container-composehas a hard-coded "docker-compose.yml" string in a notice it emits. This is confusing when your file isn't named that, to humans and bots like Claude.This pull request has five commits:
docker-compose.ymland "Docker Compose" from comments and other strings where it's more proper to talk about compose files instead.container-composedoes not like Docker Compose-style environment config #65README.mdas well asCONTRIBUTING.mdto boost up the idea of adding tests, which many PRs seem to forget.NOTE: While Claude was used to help me understand how to do some things in Swift, all code here passed directly through my fingers.
