- `[2026-07-15]` **The esh-docker-vm D-state/phantom-container wedge is only cleared by a host REBOOT** — reconfirmed: `docker stop/rm -f`, `ctr -n moby task delete`, AND `systemctl restart docker` all fail to clear it; `docker exec` into a wedged container ALSO fails (`setns ... exit status 1`), so the in-place restart escape hatch is out. Worse, a daemon restart can HALF-KILL other healthy containers (knocked paperless's granian down + left it wedged). Process dead but dockerd won't reap -> phantom. NFS mounts are `_netdev,nofail` so the reboot is boot-safe.
