Answer
Containers continue running as normal processes but cannot be managed until dockerd restarts.
Quick Answer
Containers managed by dockerd are tracked with live-restore enabled — they continue running. Without live-restore, a daemon crash stops all containers. Containers have their own runc shim process that keeps them alive independently of dockerd. On restart, dockerd reconnects to running container shims and resumes management.
