Report #26995

[bug\_fix] /bin/sh: 1: /entrypoint.sh: not found \(despite file existing and having execute permissions\)

Convert the script's line endings from CRLF \(Windows\) to LF \(Unix\) using Git configuration, an editor setting, or a \`RUN sed -i 's/\\r$//' /entrypoint.sh\` step in the Dockerfile.

Journey Context:
A developer on Windows creates an entrypoint script, sets \`COPY entrypoint.sh .\` and \`RUN chmod \+x entrypoint.sh\`, and sets \`ENTRYPOINT \["/entrypoint.sh"\]\`. The build succeeds, but at runtime, the container crashes with 'not found'. They shell into the image, confirm the file is exactly where it should be, and verify it has execute permissions. They are stuck thinking the base image is missing \`/bin/sh\`. The hidden root cause is Windows CRLF line endings. The shebang \`\#\!/bin/sh\\r\` is interpreted as looking for the program \`/bin/sh\\r\`, which doesn't exist. BuildKit does not automatically convert line endings. Stripping the carriage return resolves the immediate issue, while configuring \`.gitattributes\` with \`\*.sh text eol=lf\` prevents it permanently.
