compatibility matrix AI Lab with Podman Desktop

[axel7083]

Description

Following a discussion in #1813 (comment) initiated by @benoitf. We have the following question: What version of Podman Desktop the AI Lab extension support ?

I had in mind that we support up to version 1.8 following our requirement in our packages/backend/package.json

podman-desktop-extension-ai-lab/packages/backend/package.json

Line 11 in 3536749

"podman-desktop": ">=1.8.0"

We also have the LABEL set to 1.8 in our container image

podman-desktop-extension-ai-lab/Containerfile

Line 32 in 9a1421f

io.podman-desktop.api.version=">= 1.8.0"

However, @benoitf mentioned that the catalog state that we support up to 1.12¹.

We do not have any hard requirement on version post 1.12, but some feature are simply not available. For example the navigate resource API was introduced in version 1.10, and we have a check on it, to display or not the button to the user

podman-desktop-extension-ai-lab/packages/backend/src/managers/podmanConnection.ts

Lines 231 to 232 in a3fbfb6

	// starting from podman desktop 1.10 we have the navigate functions
	const hasNavigateFunction = !!navigation.navigateToResources;

We are using the latest API version, but we are (in theory) compatible with previous version of Podman Desktop. I would argue that we should have e2e matrix test for all the versions that we device we are compatible with.
