[bug\_fix] COPY failed: file not found in build context: stat : file does not exist

Review and correct the \`.dockerignore\` file to ensure overly broad patterns \(like \`\*.json\`, \`\*\*/node\_modules\`, or \`src/\`\) are not excluding required files from the build context.

Journey Context:
A developer runs \`docker build .\` and gets a 'file not found' error on \`COPY package.json ./\`. They \`ls\` the directory and clearly see \`package.json\` exists. They spend hours checking for typos, path casing issues \(common when moving from Mac to Linux\), and Docker context paths. Finally, they inspect the \`.dockerignore\` file and discover a blanket \`\*.json\` rule or a \`package\*\` pattern that was added to minimize the build context size. This rule inadvertently excluded the file from being sent to the Docker daemon, causing the COPY instruction to fail. Removing or refining the pattern in \`.dockerignore\` resolves the issue.
