A container can receive proxy settings from deployment configuration or client-side defaults. Registry pulls and application requests are different flows.

A new container can fail because another container or host process already owns the requested port. Inspect existing publications first.

A local CLI can create or inspect containers on a remote endpoint. Testing localhost on the operator's laptop can therefore target the wrong machine.

A path inside a container can be a bind mount, named volume, tmpfs or writable layer. Inventory mounts before recovery or replacement.

A misspelled or wrong-host path can expose an empty directory and make an application appear to lose data. Check the exact source mapping.

A changed project or explicit volume name can attach a new empty volume while the old data still exists elsewhere.

A mount at a container path can obscure files already present at that location in the image. The content may still exist in the image layer.

The mount can be declared read-only or the underlying filesystem can reject writes for another reason. Inspect declared mount access first.

A container user name may correspond to a different numeric UID than the host expects. Inspect the runtime user and mount source.

A bind mount can have correct Unix ownership while mandatory access control denies the container. Inspect mapping and host policy evidence.
