Summary

The docker buildx create --driver cloud command connects Buildx to an existing
Docker Build Cloud builder — it does not provision a new one. The previous wording
("Add the cloud builder endpoint", "This creates a local instance") was ambiguous
and caused user confusion. Added a note in the CLI setup steps clarifying this
distinction and linking to the dashboard where new builders are created.

Closes #25150

Adds a note to the Docker Build Cloud setup steps clarifying that
`docker buildx create --driver cloud` connects Buildx to an existing
cloud builder created on the dashboard — it does not provision a new one.

Fixes docker#25150

Assessment: 🟢 APPROVE

The changes are a focused, accurate clarification. The step heading was updated from "Add the cloud builder endpoint" to "Connect Buildx to your cloud builder", and the body copy was corrected from "This creates a local instance" to "This registers a local endpoint" — both more accurate and less ambiguous. A new NOTE callout correctly clarifies that the command connects to an existing builder and links to the Build Cloud dashboard. No style guide violations, no AI-isms, no broken markdown.
