- On Linux it runs

This affects

else after try/catch is a syntax error. index.mjs cannot load.
JavaScript has no try ... catch ... else. The } else if (engine !== undefined) { on line 1024 follows the catch block, so the parser rejects it. Biome reports the same error ("Expected a statement but instead found 'else'"). Every importer of index.mjs fails at module load: cli.mjs, bin/spaceapp.mjs, and the tests. This blocks the whole launcher.
Track whether the existing config loaded. Then run the engine check in a separate if after the try/catch.

Apply SPACE_CONTAINER_ENGINE during install selection.
If a user sets SPACE_CONTAINER_ENGINE=podman without --engine, this selection path reads only the pre-seeded answer. The install flow then resolves an omitted engine to Docker. Read and validate the environment value before the optional usePodman fallback, while retaining the existing-install engine-switch check.

Check the Linux Podman runtime in the readiness probe.
On Linux, ensurePodmanAvailable reports success from exit codes alone. A rootful Podman or a cgroup v1 host can pass all three probes, even though the error text and docs state rootless Podman with cgroup v2. Read the rootless and cgroup version fields from the podman info output and return failure when they do not match. This podman info call currently discards stdout (stdout: null), so capture its output through the execute contract.
