Report #14232

[bug\_fix] failed to compute cache key: failed to fetch ... not found or invalid from flag value when using COPY --from in a multi-stage build.

Ensure the stage name in COPY --from= exactly matches the AS alias defined earlier in the Dockerfile, and that the source path exists in that stage.

Journey Context:
A developer writes a multi-stage build: FROM golang:1.20 AS builder, then later FROM alpine and COPY --from=build /app/binary /binary. The build fails with a cryptic BuildKit error about computing the cache key or pulling the image. They check the binary path, list files in the builder stage, but everything seems fine. The issue is a typo: build vs builder. Because build doesn't match any stage name, BuildKit interprets it as an external Docker image name and tries to pull an image named build from Docker Hub, which fails. The fix is strictly matching the alias: COPY --from=builder /app/binary /binary.
