[bug\_fix] /bin/sh: ^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory or exec user process caused: exec format error

Convert the line endings of the entrypoint script from CRLF to LF using dos2unix or sed -i 's/\\r$//' script.sh, and configure Git with a .gitattributes file to prevent CRLF injection on checkout.

Journey Context:
A developer creates a custom shell script entrypoint on a Windows machine. The Docker image builds successfully, but immediately crashes on startup with a cryptic 'exec format error'. They go down a rabbit hole investigating ARM vs AMD64 architecture mismatches, adding --platform linux/amd64, and reinstalling QEMU, but nothing works. The actual root cause is that Git on Windows, configured with core.autocrlf=true, injects Windows-style CRLF line endings into the script. When Linux tries to execute the shebang \#\!/bin/bash\\r, it interprets \\r as part of the interpreter path, which does not exist. Converting to LF fixes the execution.
