[bug\_fix] exec user process caused: exec format error

Convert the line endings of the entrypoint script from CRLF \(Windows\) to LF \(Unix\) using tools like dos2unix or sed, and ensure Git is configured to not convert LF to CRLF on checkout.

Journey Context:
A developer builds a Docker image on a Windows machine and pushes it to a registry. The CI/CD pipeline pulls the image on a Linux worker, and the container immediately crashes with 'exec format error'. The developer goes down a rabbit hole checking the architecture \(ARM vs AMD64\), verifying base images, and checking if the binary is compiled correctly. They finally shell into a temporary container to manually execute the entrypoint script and encounter '/bin/sh: ^M: bad interpreter'. The root cause is that Git on Windows checked out the shell script with CRLF line endings. When the Linux kernel attempts to execute the script via the shebang, it looks for '/bin/sh ', which does not exist. Converting to LF resolves the interpreter lookup.
