[Bug]: Missing-resource `inspect` behavior is inconsistent across resource types

[realrajaryan]

I have done the following

• I have searched the existing issues
• If possible, I've reproduced the issue using the 'main' branch of this project

Steps to reproduce

Inspect missing resources by explicit name:

$ container inspect definitely-missing-container-2157
[]

$ echo $?
0

$ container network inspect definitely-missing-network-2157
[]

$ echo $?
0

$ container image inspect definitely-missing-image:2157
image inspect failed: ["name": definitely-missing-image:2157, "error": Image not found]
Error: InspectError(succeeded: [], failed: [("definitely-missing-image:2157", notFound: "Image not found")])

$ echo $?
1

$ container volume inspect definitely-missing-volume-2157
Error: volume 'definitely-missing-volume-2157' not found

$ echo $?
1

Problem description

Inspecting a specifically named missing resource should behave consistently. Container and network inspect return [] with exit status 0, while image and volume inspect return nonzero missing-resource errors. Scripts cannot reliably distinguish a missing container/network from a successful empty result.

Environment

- OS: macOS 26.4.1 (25E253)
- Xcode: Xcode 26.4.1 (17E202)
- Container: container CLI 0.12.3 (build: release, commit: f989901)
