CodingOptimize Dockerfile

Harden and slim a Dockerfile

Use to reduce image size and tighten security on an existing Dockerfile.

The prompt
prompt.txt
Act as a container and DevOps engineer.
Here is my Dockerfile:
{{dockerfile}}

App type: {{app_type}}.

Improve it:
1. Point out security issues (running as root, secrets in layers, broad base image).
2. Rewrite it using multi-stage builds to shrink the final image.
3. Pin versions and order layers for better cache hits.
4. Add a non-root user and least-privilege defaults.
5. Note the expected size reduction and any runtime change to verify.
Return the full improved Dockerfile plus a short list of what changed.
