Subject: [PATCH] use repo root as Docker build context

Add .dockerignore to keep build context small and exclude local/dev files. Update CI workflow and docker-compose to set the build context to the repository root and point to backend Dockerfiles. Adjust backend Dockerfile and Dockerfile.test to copy files from backend/ (requirements, app, tests, pytest.ini) and include frontend assets in the image. These changes let builds run from the repo root while avoiding sending unnecessary files to the Docker daemon.
