Description
### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
After
- #19280
The docs build would rely on tools being installed on the host machine (e.g. `cargo depgraph`), which makes local setup heavier and less reproducible.
It would be nice to provide a Docker-based workflow for building the docs, so contributors can build everything in an isolated and consistent environment without installing extra dependencies on their system.
Goal: make building docs possible via a simple Docker command with no host setup beyond Docker itself.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing documentation build workflow and the cargo depgraph dependency mentioned in the issue. Define a Docker-based entry point that builds the documentation without host dependencies, and verify that the documented Docker command succeeds on a clean host with only Docker installed.
