Research direction

Read content/manuals/build/cache/backends/inline.md and compare its introduction with local.md, registry.md, and gha.md. Add the stated driver requirement before the Synopsis section, matching those pages; done means the inline page explains the containerd image store requirement and links to Build drivers.

Description

File: content/manuals/build/cache/backends/inline.md

Issue

The cache backends overview (_index.md) states that the default docker driver supports inline cache only with containerd image store enabled:

The default docker driver supports the inline, local, registry, and
gha cache backends, but only if you have enabled the containerd image store.

However, the inline cache documentation page (inline.md) makes no mention of this requirement. In contrast, the other three backends mentioned (local.md, registry.md, and gha.md) all explicitly include this notice:

This cache storage backend works with the default docker driver only when the
containerd image store is enabled. If
the containerd image store isn't enabled, use a different driver.

Why this matters

Readers following the inline cache documentation won't know they need to enable the containerd image store to use it with the default docker driver. This creates an inconsistency across the cache backend documentation and may lead to confusion when the feature doesn't work as expected.

Suggested fix

Add the same driver requirement notice to inline.md that appears in local.md, registry.md, and gha.md:

This cache storage backend works with the default `docker` driver only when the
[containerd image store](/manuals/desktop/features/containerd.md) is enabled. If
the containerd image store isn't enabled, use a different driver. See
[Build drivers](/manuals/build/builders/drivers/_index.md) for more information.

Place this notice in the introductory section, before the Synopsis section, to match the pattern used in the other backend pages.
