Report #14049

[bug\_fix] failed to solve: secret not found:

Pass the secret to the \`docker build\` command using the \`--secret\` flag \(e.g., \`docker build --secret id=mytoken,src=./token.txt .\`\) and ensure the file exists at the source path.

Journey Context:
A developer wants to clone a private Git repository during a Docker build without baking credentials into the image. They add \`RUN --mount=type=secret,id=git\_token git clone ...\` to their Dockerfile. The build fails with 'secret not found'. They double-check the ID matches perfectly and the syntax is correct. They then realize that simply declaring the mount in the Dockerfile is only half the equation; the secret must also be explicitly provided by the client during the \`docker build\` invocation. They update their build script to include \`--secret id=git\_token,src=./token.txt\`, securely injecting the credential into the build step without persisting it in the image layers.
