Research direction

Start by reproducing the shown ChromeOptions configuration with selenium/node-chrome:4.23.1-20240820 and the reported authenticated SOCKS5 proxy, then inspect the docker-selenium proxy and networking configuration. Done means a Chrome session can load https://api.ipify.org/ through the configured SOCKS5 proxy without ERR_SOCKS_CONNECTION_FAILED.
