How this coder helps

Best workflow
Identify runtime, copy only needed files, expose ports, set env vars, then test rebuilds.
Good inputs
Project structure, package files, Docker errors, Compose YAML, and expected services.
Boundaries
Production containers need security hardening, secrets management, and operational review.
