[bug\_fix] Multi-stage build fails to copy artifacts with \`COPY --from=builder /app/build /usr/share/nginx/html: no such file or directory\`

Verify the alias in \`FROM ... AS \` exactly matches the value passed to \`--from=\`, and verify the source path exists inside that stage. Use absolute paths. The root cause is usually a typo in the stage alias \(e.g., \`build\` vs \`builder\`\) or a mismatch between where the artifact is produced and where the later stage expects to copy it from.

Journey Context:
You refactor a Dockerfile into two stages, \`FROM node:20 AS builder\` and \`FROM nginx:alpine\`. The build stage writes to \`/app/dist\`, and the final stage uses \`COPY --from=builder /app/build /usr/share/nginx/html\`. The first stage succeeds, but the second stage errors that \`/app/build\` does not exist. You re-read the first stage and realize it runs \`npm run build\` which outputs to \`dist/\`, not \`build/\`. After changing the COPY source to \`/app/dist\` the multi-stage build completes. Later you hit the same error in another project because the alias was \`FROM golang:1.22 AS build\` but the copy used \`--from=builder\`.
