Subject: [PATCH] fix: use Podman instead of non-existent Kaniko binary (#223)

Kaniko doesn't provide standalone binary downloads - it's distributed as a
container image. The download URL returns 404.

Solution: Use Podman which:
- Available as standard apt package
- Runs rootless without daemon
- Works on unprivileged runners
- Docker-compatible CLI

This avoids both the Docker namespace issue and the missing Kaniko binary.
