Unable to build it with Dockerfile #15859
Description
What happened?
When running build with Docker, I got a error
~/g/gemini-cli (main)> podman build \
--build-arg CLI_VERSION_ARG=1.0.0 \
-t gemini .

Looks like the current Dockerfile in the root of the repository assumes that the user has already installed Node.js dependencies and compiled the project artifacts (.tgz files) on their host machine before running docker/podman build.
If a user tries to build the container directly from a fresh clone (without having Node/NPM installed on their host), the build fails at the COPY step because the dist folders do not exist yet.
Steps to Reproduce
- Clone the repository.
- Ensure you have not run npm install or npm run build locally
- Run:
docker build -t gemini .
What did you expect to happen?
Build works from the box, from the clean system without nodejs

Can't do it, because gemini not installed

Anything else we need to know?
Its working after changing Dockerfile to multi-stage:
[2/2] STEP 14/14: CMD ["gemini"]
