------------------------------+-----------------------------
 On Apple Silicon (M1), running the WordPress core development environment
 fails because the Docker images `wordpressdevelop/php:latest` and
 `wordpressdevelop/cli:latest` do not provide linux/arm64 support.

 == Environment ==

 * MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)
 * Apple M1
 * macOS 26.3 (25D125)
 * Node.js 20.x
 * npm 10.x

 == Steps to Reproduce ==

 {{{
 npm install
 npm run build:dev
 npm run env:start
 }}}

 == Actual Result ==

 Docker fails with:

 {{{
 no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries
 }}}

 Affected images:

 * wordpressdevelop/php:latest
 * wordpressdevelop/cli:latest

 == Expected Result ==

 The development environment should start successfully on Apple Silicon
 without requiring manual platform overrides.

 == Workaround ==

 The environment starts only if `docker-compose.override.yml` includes
 platform overrides for `php` and `cli` (similar to `mysql`):

 {{{
 services:
   php:
     platform: linux/amd64
   cli:
     platform: linux/amd64
   mysql:
     platform: linux/amd64
 }}}

 Without overriding `php` and `cli`, the environment does not start.
