Research direction
First, review the mason.nvim CONTRIBUTING.md and the existing package structure under lua/mason/packages/. Look at how other formatters are defined, e.g., 'shfmt' or 'prettier'. Then, create a new package definition for dockerfmt that specifies the download method (e.g., GitHub releases with a Go binary or go install). Ensure the version parsing and installation steps align with mason's architecture. Finally, submit a pull request and be responsive to maintainer feedback.
