[bug\_fix] failed to solve: failed to compute cache key: mount callback failed on CACHED

Prune the corrupted BuildKit cache using \`docker builder prune\` and rebuild the image from scratch.

Journey Context:
A developer is iterating on a Dockerfile and repeatedly building. Suddenly, a previously working \`COPY\` or \`RUN\` step starts failing with a cryptic 'mount callback failed on CACHED' error. They revert the Dockerfile to a known good state, but the error persists. They try removing the image with \`docker rmi\`, but it still fails. They discover that BuildKit maintains a complex internal cache database and snapshot graph, which can become corrupted or fall into an inconsistent state due to interrupted builds, hard resets, or Docker Desktop updates. Running \`docker builder prune\` works because it deletes the corrupted cache metadata and snapshots, forcing BuildKit to recompute the cache key and rebuild the layers cleanly.
