Pull Request Overview

This PR introduces a .dockerignore file to prevent non-essential files (tests, caches, VCS artifacts, etc.) from being included in the Docker build context, resulting in a smaller and cleaner image.

• Adds .dockerignore with patterns excluding test files, Python artifacts, docs, logs, IDE configs, dependency and cache directories, and Git metadata.
