Function IsFeatureActive

internal/desktop/client.go:182–196

IsFeatureActive reports whether Docker Desktop is the active engine and the given feature flag is enabled. Returns false silently on any failure — the engine being unreachable, Desktop not being the active engine, or the flag being off — so callers can use this as a single gating check.

(ctx context.Context, apiClient client.APIClient, feature string)
