Description
Optimized the Dockerfile to improve build performance by leveraging Docker layer caching. The change moves the npm install step to run after copying only package*.json, so dependencies don't need to be reinstalled unless package.json changes. This reduces rebuild times when modifying source code files.

How Has This Been Tested?
Tested the changes by building the Docker image before and after modifying the Dockerfile. Verified that:
1.) Rebuilding after modifying source code does not rerun npm install.
2.) Image builds faster as dependencies are cached unless package.json changes.
