Documented steps
Create a docker-container builder to get multi-arch + cache-export support: docker buildx create --use --name container --driver docker-container.
With any non-docker driver, the image is NOT auto-loaded into docker image ls; add --load to send the OCI-layout export into the local store: docker buildx build --load -t myapp:latest .
For multi-platform builds you cannot --load all platforms at once (the local docker store holds a single-platform image) — use --load for one platform or push to a registry.
To make a custom driver auto-load by default, create it with default-load: docker buildx create --driver-opt default-load=true.

Known gotchas
The default docker driver auto-loads but supports only limited cache/output options; the docker-container driver needs explicit --load (or default-load=true) or the built image stays only in the build cache.
--load only works for --platform with one platform; combining --load with multiple platforms errors because the image store cannot represent the manifest list.
If you override --output with a non-docker type, the image is not loaded even on a default-load builder unless you also pass type=docker or --load.
