Bug: sam local invoke - DockerException - missing credential helper

[miketheman]

Description:

On a fresh project, using the default hello_world template from sam init, the a failure is shown when attempting to invoke locally.

Steps to reproduce:

$ sam init \
  --name=demo-failure \
  --architecture=x86_64 \
  --runtime=python3.13 \
  --dependency-manager=pip \
  --package-type=Zip \
  --app-template=hello-world \
  --no-tracing \
  --no-application-insights \
  --no-structured-logging \
  --no-beta-features
$ cd demo-failure
$ sam build
$ sam local invoke --debug

Observed result:

$ sam local invoke --debug

An unexpected error was encountered while executing "sam local invoke".

Expected result:

Not a failure. Or something upstream that declares a dependency on docker-credential-ecr-login (aka amazon-ecr-credential-helper) so that the failure isn't completely weird.

Also, it's unclear why I'd need a credential helper for a local invoke - so that's weird.
