This PR replaces a shell wrapper execution (/bin/bash -c "docker system prune -f 2>&1") with direct binary execution (/usr/bin/env docker ...) using Process in dockerPrune.

This is a defense-in-depth enhancement. While no dynamic user input was passed to the shell wrapper, relying on a shell to execute fixed commands is an anti-pattern. By executing the binary directly and replicating the shell redirection (2>&1) securely within Swift using Pipe(), we eliminate the shell environment and its associated attack surface entirely.

Replaced shell wrapper execution with direct binary execution in `dockerPrune` using `Process`. This aligns with defense-in-depth principles by eliminating the intermediate shell environment and its associated attack surface. Redirections are handled securely in Swift by sharing a single `Pipe` between stdout and stderr.
