Adding GID to Dockerfile breaks Docker compose watch functionality #49213

Description

If a Dockerfile uses the USER keyword with both a UID and GID like 0:0, Config.User gets set to 0:0. If using watch to update files, the file update then fails with getent unable to find entry "0:0" in passwd database. This is presumably because it tries to look up the user using getent with 0:0 which doesn't match any records.

This could presumably be fixed by either populating Config.User with the UID alone, or having the watch functionality extract the UID and use that to look up the user. I'm unsure which is more appropriate.

Reproduce

  1. create these files (I'd attach them, but .yaml and .sh files are prohibited):
    === Dockerfile ===
FROM alpine

COPY --chown=0:0 files .

USER 0

CMD [ "sh", "start.sh" ]

=== docker-compose.yaml ===

services:
  gidtest:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    develop:
      watch:
        - action: sync
          path: files
          target: /

=== files/start.sh ===

#!/bin/sh

last=0

while true; do
	cur=`stat -c %Y test`

	if test $cur -ne $last
	then
		ls -l test
		last=$cur
		sleep 5
	fi
done

=== files/test ===

foo
  1. docker compose up
  2. Click "w" to enable watch
  3. edit files/test
  4. Receive error response from daemon

Expected behavior

The updated file should be propagated into the container without errors
