[Doc Update]: README instructs .env.local but docker-compose expects .env (blockchain & client)

Issue Description ✍️

Hi maintainers 👋,

While setting up the project with Docker, I noticed a mismatch between the README and docker-compose configuration.

The README instructs creating:

• blockchain/.env.local
• client/.env.local

However, docker-compose.yml expects:

• blockchain/.env
• client/.env

This causes docker-compose up --build to fail with:
"Couldn't find env file: .../.env"

Suggested fixes (either option works):

1. Update docker-compose.yml to reference .env.local for both services, or
2. Update README to instruct creating .env instead of .env.local

Happy to open a PR if you’d prefer. Thanks!
