[bug\_fix] Dockerfile parse error line 1: unknown instruction

Convert the Dockerfile to LF \(Unix\) line endings using tools like \`dos2unix\` or by configuring Git's \`core.autocrlf\` setting.

Journey Context:
A developer working on Windows creates a Dockerfile. When they push it to the repository and the CI pipeline runs on a Linux runner, the build fails immediately with a parse error on the very first line \(often a comment or FROM instruction\). They stare at the syntax and it looks perfectly valid. The rabbit-hole is that Windows uses CRLF \(Carriage Return Line Feed\) line endings, while Linux/Docker expects LF. The hidden \`\\r\` character causes the Docker parser to fail. The fix works because stripping the \`\\r\` restores the file to the expected Unix format that the Docker daemon can parse.
