- The build failed with: "ERROR: failed to build: process \"/bin/sh -c npm install\" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1"
- npm error details include: "npm error code 1"
- Critical runtime errors during npm install:
- "PhantomJS not found on PATH"
- "Phantom installation failed TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The \"path\" argument must be of type string. Received undefined"
- Missing packages or files mentioned:

- Node.js version shown: Node.js v18.20.8
- Missing packages or files mentioned:
- None explicitly mentioned as missing. The error arises during the gulp build step, not from a missing file/package in the log.
- Version mismatch / root cause information:
- Base image uses Node.js 18 (node:18-slim) and the gulp task runs with gulp 3-era internals (natives, graceful-fs). The error primordials is not defined is a known incompatibility when using older gulp/graceful-fs with Node.js 18+.
- This is a runtime compatibility issue (Node 18 vs. older gulp/v3) rather than a missing dependency.# Multi-stage Dockerfile: build from source with Node, then serve static assets with nginx

Concerns: Node 14 is end-of-life; consider upgrading to a newer Node LTS base image., The build relies on scripts/build-dist.js to output to /app/dist; ensure the script consistently creates dist and doesn't rely on npm install in the builder.
