[MEDIUM] Sentence fragment and unclear phrasing in VMM Beta bullet

The bullet reads: "Docker VMM Beta performance improvements by Docker's own container-optimized hypervisor. Available for Mac and Windows."

Two issues introduced by this line:

  1. Sentence fragment: "Available for Mac and Windows." has no verb. It needs to be integrated into the main sentence.
  2. Awkward "by" phrasing: "performance improvements by [hypervisor]" implies the hypervisor authored the improvements rather than being the mechanism that delivers them.

Suggested rewrite:

- Docker VMM Beta now delivers performance improvements through Docker's container-optimized hypervisor, available on Mac and Windows.

- Gordon now displays specific error messages for tool failures, policy-blocked actions, and loop detection instead of a generic **Agent error**.
- Fixed container stop timeouts and `unless-stopped` restart policies not being honored during engine shutdown.
- Fixed a bug where enabling Docker Offload from the Docker Desktop Dashboard failed when the proxy was configured by the operating system instead of by environment variables.
- Fixed a crash on startup after upgrading, for users whose settings file was written by a very old version.
- Fixed port forwarding for Swarm services that use automatically assigned published ports, including host-mode task ports and repeated ingress port definitions.
- Added a three-mode safety system (Strict, Balanced, Autonomous) to the Gordon AI agent's tool confirmation UI, replacing the previous binary approve/allow-all dialog, with risk-tier labels on confirmation.
- Fixed a flash of incorrect UI content on app launch, such as a brief 'Waiting for the Docker Engine...' screen or unexpected navigation away from gated pages.
- AF_UNIX sockets shared over VirtioFS now work in both directions (host to guest and guest to host).
- Fixed a bug where restarting the VM would steal the window focus.

#### For Mac

- Fixed a bug where a Kubernetes (kind) cluster with Enhanced Container Isolation could fail to recover after a Docker Desktop restart.
- Fixed nftables `fib` expressions failing with "Operation not supported" in `inet` tables on Apple Silicon.

#### For Windows

- Fixed an issue where the Windows installer reported success when it could not write its settings or enterprise policy files.
- Fixed Model Runner failing to start with `CreateJobObject: Access is denied` when Docker Desktop is launched via a Secondary Logon (run-as-user) session.
- Updated the bundled 7-Zip to 26.02 to avoid antivirus software quarantining it during an upgrade on Windows.

#### For Linux

- Fixed Docker Desktop failing to start on Linux arm64 hosts due to incorrect QEMU binary path resolution.
