Description
Here's the problem:
The Dockerfile is trying to install packages from paths that don't exist:
RUN pip --no-cache-dir install
/app/packages/markitdown[all]
/app/packages/markitdown-sample-plugin
But looking at the project structure, the actual package directories contain pyproject.toml files, not direct installable packages. The correct paths should be:
/app/packages/markitdown/ (note the trailing slash or proper package reference)
/app/packages/markitdown-sample-plugin/
This will cause the Docker build to fail completely because pip can't find the packages at those paths.
