Description
Description
Normally if I want effectively an empty context I just do something like docker build -< path/to/file.
However, this does not work with buildx's debugging commands since it requires stdin to be available for interaction.
It would be nice if you can signal to buildx to not send a default context.

Research direction
Start by tracing the buildx debugging commands and how they currently consume stdin and select a default context. Determine how an explicit empty-context signal should be expressed without preventing interactive input, then verify that the selected commands accept it and retain their interactive behavior.
