Documents that the presence of admin-settings.json file enforces sign-in on Docker Desktop.

Changes:

  • Added important note in Prerequisites section explaining that the file's presence enforces sign-in (behavior since Docker Desktop 4.29)
  • Clarifies this is intended for business features that require authentication

This addresses user confusion about why Docker Desktop requires sign-in after adding the admin-settings.json file.

Fixes #24286

Assessment: 🟢 APPROVE

This PR successfully addresses issue #24286 by documenting that the presence of admin-settings.json enforces sign-in on Docker Desktop (behavior since version 4.29).

Key changes:

  • Added an IMPORTANT callout in the Prerequisites section explaining the sign-in enforcement behavior
  • Clarifies this is intended for business features requiring authentication
  • Includes formatting cleanup (consistent indentation, whitespace standardization in JSON examples, table alignment)

Documentation quality:

  • The new callout is appropriately placed and uses direct, factual language
  • Follows Docker's style guide (no hedge words, no meta-commentary)
  • Provides clear context for users who may be confused about sign-in requirements

No issues found. The changes improve documentation clarity and address user confusion.

Change 'Auto-Config' to 'Auto-config' in PAC descriptions to fix Vale style violations at lines 323 and 331.
