I am trying to get molecule-plugins[podman] working with ansible-native inventory.

molecule.yml:

---
ansible:
  cfg:
    defaults:
      deprecation_warnings: false
      host_key_checking: false
  env:
    ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH: ../../../playbooks/roles
    ANSIBLE_INVENTORY: inventory/

  executor:
    args:
      ansible_playbook:
        - --inventory=inventory/
dependency:
  name: galaxy
  options:
    requirements-file: ${MOLECULE_SCENARIO_DIRECTORY}/requirements.yml

scenario:
  test_sequence:
    - dependency
    - destroy
    - create
    - converge
    - idempotence
    - verify
    - cleanup
    - destroy

hostsfile:

---
all:
  children:
    molecule:
      hosts:
        molecule-ubuntu2404:
          container_image: docker.io/geerlingguy/docker-ubuntu2404-ansible
          ansible_connection: podman
        molecule-ubuntu2204:
          container_image: docker.io/geerlingguy/docker-ubuntu2204-ansible
          container_command: sleep 1d
          container_privileged: false
          ansible_connection: podman

The create/converge/… all works however list and login fails.
podman ps and List shows following:

⭐❯ podman ps

molecule login shows following:

⭐❯ molecule login -s default -h molecule-ubuntu2404

Am I missing elements? Am I doing anything wrong?
