OrbStack not detected (race condition)

[chintai-paul]

Expected Behavior

Tilt should detect that OrbStack is running locally and not try to push images to Docker Hub.

STEP 2/3 — Pushing my-image:tilt-b40c5c3a04bf57c3
     Skipping push: building on cluster's container runtime

Current Behavior

Tilt tries to push images to Docker Hub (when OrbStack was just started).

STEP 2/3 — Pushing my-image:tilt-b40c5c3a04bf57c3
     Pushing with Docker client
     Authenticating to image repo: docker.io
     Sending image data

Build Failed: docker push: pushing image "docker.io/my-image": denied: requested access to the resource is denied

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install OrbStack
2. Run the following script:

orb start k8s
kubectl config use-context orbstack
while ! kubectl get node &> /dev/null; do
  echo "Waiting for Kubernetes to be ready"
  sleep 1
done
tilt doctor
tilt up

3. Notice that Tilt tries to push docker images to Docker Hub (only when not cached and OrbStack was just started)

Context

tilt doctor Output (before running tilt up when it tries to push)

About Your Use Case

We're trying to automate the cluster setup, but when starting OrbStack followed by Tilt there is a race-condition in detecting the environment. Refreshing a resource does not resolve the issue. Restarting Tilt resolves the issue until the next full restart (including OrbStack). I would be happy if someone could tell me for which condition I need to wait in the script before running tilt up. From the tilt doctor output I can see that Tilt already knows that it is working with an OrbStack cluster, but the "push policy" relies on something else.
