Troubleshooting Attempted
• Deleted ~/.steampipe/ and reinstalled Steampipe.
• Removed Homebrew cached files.
• Removed .docker/config.json and restarted OrbStack.
• Verified that .docker/config.json was recreated with:
{
"auths": {},
"credsStore": "osxkeychain",
"currentContext": "orbstack"
}
• Retried installation — issue persists.
