Erich Blume a68a170a10 Add install-dagger-on-nix-runner Mikado card (#233)
## Summary
- New Mikado card: the ringtail nix-container-builder runner lacks dagger, which the nix workflow needs for `dagger call nix-version` (authentik version extraction fallback)
- Re-opens `adopt-commit-based-container-tags` with this new prerequisite
- All other containers (11 Dockerfile-only, nettest + ntfy with nix) build fine — only authentik's nix build is blocked

## Deployment and Testing
- Docs only, no deployment needed
