What should I do if AI Builder capabilities are not available after installation?
Currently, all AI Builder capabilities are in the alpha image. Check whether you installed using this image. If not, you can upgrade to this image.
What should I do if Docker reports a port conflict on startup?
Use a different port (e.g., port=14000), or stop the process occupying port 13000 first. The Skill's pre-check phase will proactively flag port conflicts.
