[BUG] `docker compose down` tries to remove network that is in use
Description
Docker-CE 28.2.1 and Compose v2.36.2, with a compose stack A that has its network used by another stack B. When attempting a docker compose down, it first correctly reports the network is in use, then tries to remove it anyway.
At that point even a docker compose up -d fails, and the only way to recover is to stop stack B that uses stack A's network, start stack A again, then start stack B that relied on its network.
Example logs:
[+] Running 5/5
✔ Container traefik-node-exporter-1 Removed 0.0s
✔ Container traefik-promtail-1 Removed 10.4s
✔ Container traefik-cadvisor-1 Removed 0.0s
✔ Container traefik-cmf_docker_metrics-1 Removed 0.4s
! Network traefik_default Resource is still in use 0.0s
[+] Running 1/1
✔ Network traefik_default Removed 0.0s
Error response from daemon: error while removing network: network traefik_default has active endpoints (name:"eth-main-ethereum-metrics-exporter-1" id:"a5482a754fc3", name:"eth-main-execution-1" id:"1653f67ad42c", name:"eth-main-mev-boost-1" id:"96ab09e4a0cd", name:"eth-main-consensus-1" id:"7de7a7846c77")
Steps To Reproduce
Create a compose stack A with any service, let it create its default network
Create a compose stack B with any service, point its default network to that of compose stack A:
networks:
default:
name: stacka_default
external: true
Run docker compose down on compose stack A and observe. It should identify the network as still in use and not try to remove it, and only stop and remove services.
"This used to work" up until Docker-CE 28.2.1, likely broke with 28.2.0 and Compose v2.36.2
The last combo where I have it working as expected is Docker Compose version v2.35.1 and Docker version 28.1.1, build 4eba377

Example logs of correct behavior on Compose v2.35.1 and Docker 28.1.1:
debian@eth-main-a:~/traefik$ docker compose down
[+] Running 3/3
✔ Container traefik-cf-ddns-1 Removed 0.3s
✔ Container traefik-traefik-1 Removed 10.8s
! Network traefik_default Resource is still in use
Compose does not try to remove the network that is still in use.
Tried to reproduce, I get the expected Resource is still in use warning message and no extra error, not sure what can trigger this
