consider also using some of their supported transports.

Remove user-facing CLI options for CNI network backend:
CLI flags:
- Keep --network-backend global flag as hidden and deprecated for
backward compatibility with cleanup commands from 5.x containers
- Map flag to a throwaway variable (value is ignored)
- Remove shell completion for network backend values
Shell completions:
- Remove AutocompleteNetworkBackend() function
- Remove references to CNI and Netavark type constants
Backward compatibility:
- Remove --rootless-cni flag alias for podman unshare
- Remove SetNormalizeFunc that mapped rootless-cni to rootless-netns
- Update --rootless-netns flag description to mention only netavark
The --network-backend flag remains as a hidden deprecated flag to
prevent failures when upgrading from 5.x where containers may have
cleanup commands that include this flag. The flag is accepted but
ignored. Users can no longer specify CNI as a network backend option.
The --rootless-cni alias is removed; users must use --rootless-netns.

Implements automatic OS upgrade functionality for Podman machines that requires no user input beyond running the command. The upgrade logic automatically determines the appropriate upgrade path using a three-way comparison between client version, machine version, and OCI registry:
* When the client version is older than the machine version, no action is taken and an error is returned.
* When the client version matches the machine version, the OCI registry is queried to check for in-band updates by comparing image digests. This handles minor, patch level, and updates oci image use cases.
* When the client version is newer than the machine version, the machine is upgraded to match the client's major.minor version.
* No manual image selection or version specification required.
The command supports dry-run mode and JSON (only) output format for automation.

Previously, `secret create` required stdin to be a pipe when using `-`,
blocking interactive stdin forcing users to use insecure patterns like
`echo "secret" | podman secret create <name>`.
Remove the pipe check to allow interactive stdin.

Adds two fields to the output of `podman image list --format json`,
"Repository" and "Tag." Consequently makes the existing embedded field
"RepoTag" redundant, and in current implementation is always `nil`. Adds
`json:",omitempty"` to improve program output.

- Update documentation: Differentiate `unless-stopped` from `always` - containers stopped by the user before a reboot will not restart.
- Add `should-start-on-boot` filter: Identify containers that require a restart after a system reboot.
- Update command documentation: Add `restart-policy` and `label!` filters to the documentation for container commands (rm, ps, start, stop, pause, unpause, restart).
- Add `restart-policy` and `shoud-start-on-boot` to completions.
- Update service: Update `podman-restart.service` to use the `needs-restart=true` filter.
- Preserve state: Preserve the `StoppedByUser` state across reboots.
- Update API: Add a `ShouldStartOnBoot()` method to the Container API.
- Update documentation: Add descriptions for the `should-start-on-boot` filter.

The --macvlan flag was deprecated in Podman 3.x and was scheduled
for removal in version 4.0. Since we're now at version 6.0.0-dev,
this commit removes the deprecated flag and its associated code.
Users should now use the standard syntax:
podman network create --driver macvlan --opt parent=<device> <name>

- add validation in namespaces.go to catch all paths (cli, quadlet, api)
- block userns mixing for all pods with infra, not just ipc/net
- update error message to be clearer
- fix test cleanup to use PodmanExitCleanly()
- use dynamic pod names in system tests to avoid conflicts

In function rm variable `report` might be initialized as nil as a result
of call
`registry.ImageEngine().Remove(registry.Context(), args, imageOpts)`.
Then, there is a call `registry.SetExitCode(report.ExitCode)` without
explicit nil check before. Check `len(rmErrors) > 0` doesn't guarantee
that report is a non-nil value.
So such call may lead to nil deref.
This commit adds check `report` for nil before its dereference.

For use cases like HPC, where `podman exec` is called in rapid succession, the standard exec process can become a bottleneck due to container locking and database I/O for session tracking.
This commit introduces a new `--no-session` flag to `podman exec`. When used, this flag invokes a new, lightweight backend implementation that:
- Skips container locking, reducing lock contention
- Bypasses the creation, tracking, and removal of exec sessions in the database
- Executes the command directly and retrieves the exit code without persisting session state
- Maintains consistency with regular exec for container lookup, TTY handling, and environment setup
- Shares implementation with health check execution to avoid code duplication
The implementation addresses all performance bottlenecks while preserving compatibility with existing exec functionality including --latest flag support and proper exit code handling.
Changes include:
- Add --no-session flag to cmd/podman/containers/exec.go
- Implement lightweight execution path in libpod/container_exec.go
- Ensure consistent container validation and environment setup
- Add comprehensive exit code testing including signal handling (exit 137)
- Optimize configuration to skip unnecessary exit command setup

This allows users to set the associated machine's system connection to the system default when running `podman machine init --now` or `podman machine start`. It also changes the default bbehavior of these commands in that the user will be prompted and asked if they would like to switch the system connection. It also introduces a command line switch called `--update-connection`. If the switch is unset, then the user will be prmpted. If the command value is explicitly set to `false`, the user will not be prompted and the system connection will not be altered. If the value is set to `true`, the system connection will be made the default and the user will not be prompted.

Add the ability for users to override the default provider when creating mahcines. The new flag is `--provider` and allows you to specifiy a valid vmtype for the platform. This PR also removes the previous list test where we tested listing all providers. I added a PR for testing --provider which includes a standard `machine ls` which defaults now to showing all providers.

This also includes a number of significant changes to the SQLite
state made possible by removal of the legacy DB.
1. Enable database unit tests for SQLite state, with numerous
tweaks to get tests passing. Most notable changes are to
container removal - where we previously didn't return an error
if there was no container to remove - and RemovePodContainers,
which I don't think ever worked properly from my reading of
the failures.
2. Removal of AddContainerToPod/RemoveContainerToPod. On SQLite,
these functions are identical to AddContainer/RemoveContainer
and there is no reason to retain duplicates.
3. Removal of SafeRewriteContainerConfig - it's identical to
RewriteContainerConfig in SQLite, no reason to have duplicate
entrypoints.
As an exciting side-note, this removes Podman's requirement that
containers and pods cannot share a name, which was a BoltDB
restriction only.

For Podman 6, we still have providers and will continue to have a default provider for each platform. But where a platform has multiple providers, we want users to be able to cross provider boudnaries imposed in Podman 4/5. The key change is to look up virtual machines by name, as before, but to then also iterate all possible providers. As of this PR, init will still only create with the default provider, but a subsequent PR will introdouce an provider override.
I also removed the "--all-providers" command line option on `podman
machine ls` because it no longer makes sense. And I marked the all
provider list test to be skipped.

This change adds a .CreatedAt format option to the podman artifact ls
command to match the behavior of podman images --format CreatedAt.
The .Created field continues to display human-readable elapsed time
(e.g., '6 hours ago'), while the new .CreatedAt field displays the
full timestamp (e.g., '2025-10-23 12:34:56 +0000 UTC').
Changes:
- Refactored artifactListOutput struct to store time.Time value
- Added CreatedAt() method returning full timestamp string
- Added Created() method for human-readable duration
- Updated documentation to include .CreatedAt field
- Added e2e test for .CreatedAt format option
