Description
Describe the bug
Docker Compose is completely broken and all commands fail with "Error response from daemon: client version 1.43 is too old. Minimum supported API version is 1.44, please upgrade your client to a newer version". This is caused by Photon OS using the wildly outdated Compose version 2.40.3-2.ph5. Current is 5.1.0. This needs to be upgraded immediately, as all servers are out of operation and we can't start or stop containers and basically do nothing anymore.
Reproduction steps
Run any docker compose command
Expected behavior
Photon OS needs to use current versions of Docker software and not wildly outdated years old versions
Additional context
No response

Research direction
Start by locating the Photon OS packaging or build entry for Docker Compose version 2.40.3-2.ph5 and check how the Docker client and Compose versions are selected. Verify the updated package meets the daemon's minimum API requirement, then run representative docker compose commands to confirm containers can be managed again.
