- Exclude non-build files from context with `.dockerignore` - Add `go mod download` step to cache dependencies - Switch casing on commands

Thanks @yarlson, this looks good! I edited your commit message a bit, just to match the style we tend to use in the project (no category prefixes; first line <= 50 chars) |

This change adds a new
.dockerignorethat excludes everything by default—then whitelists only the files we actually need (/cmd,/internal,go.mod,go.sum, andMakefile). By pruning the build context like this, we send far less data to the Docker daemon on every build.The
Dockerfileitself has been refactored to make better use of Docker’s layer cache. We now copy in justgo.modandgo.sumfirst and rungo mod download, so your dependencies stay cached unless they actually change. The rest of the source code is copied afterward, and we’ve consolidated the user setup, directory creation, and permission adjustments into a singleRUNinstruction. All Docker keywords are properly capitalized and blank lines separate logical stages, with no inline comments to keep things tidy.Together, these tweaks deliver much faster rebuilds (especially in CI), smaller contexts (lower I/O), and a cleaner, more maintainable Dockerfile. Let me know if you’d like any further refinements!
