When the IPAM config of a compose project's network changes (#999 added
`ip_range`), compose recreates the network on the next `up`. With a
foreign endpoint attached, as every worktree stack is on the primary's
network, compose first stops the project's own containers, then fails
with `error while removing network: ... has active endpoints`, and a
repeated `up` or `up --force-recreate` does not recover. On 2026-10-19
this took the shared registry/package cache and coredns down for every
local session.
`make compose-network-recreate` (alias `i8conere`) runs the sequence that
recovered it: detach every running container of another project from the
network, `docker compose down --remove-orphans` without `-v` so the
caches keep their volumes, the normal `up`, then attach the detached
containers again, which draw addresses from the dynamic pool. If `up`
fails, the still-detached containers are listed instead of reattached.
