Random errors on macOS 26.6: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: ssh: handshake failed: EOF #29402

Description

@wkornewald

I'm not quite sure if this started only with macOS 26.6 or with the latest podman version (6.0.2), but when using podman-compose build or podman-compose up on our docker-compose.yaml with 42 services (many of which require building a custom image), I randomly get one or multiple lines with:

Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: ssh: handshake failed: EOF

Repeating the command sometimes prints more or less or no such errors. My podman machine is based on applehv:

podman machine init --disk-size 100 --memory 32768 --cpus 5 --swap 32768 --rootful --now

So the resources should be sufficient. Maybe there are just too many parallel connections at once such that some of them get rejected? Could this be handled more gracefully?
