Can this tool be installed during the build?
While the app installation itself works, initial startup requires runner user's password. This I do not have nor can set via password reset (as explained by Thomas Baillie from GitHub Developer Support in an support request email, Nov 27, 10:10 AM UTC ).

Docker.app refuses to start with sudo. It must to be started as a regular user and user must provide a password via UI dialog (which could be done with applescript if I had OR could reset the runner user's password).

This is not just adding the Docker.app, but also starting it with correct permissions so that the network settings can be configured. After the initial launch Docker.app can be stopped, and future startups should work fine with no passwords nor sudo's involved.

Project, branch and workflow that is an example of this need (trying to launch a docker-compose -based tool for testing in MacOS):

Are you willing to submit a PR?
Sure if I only get some instructions how to achieve this.
