Why it happens

The Dockerfile tries to copy /Models, /desktop, and /publish into the image, but those paths are not present in the Docker build context at the checked-out commit. Docker cannot calculate the build checksum, so the image is not built and Compose cannot start the application. The obsolete version warnings are informational and are not the cause.
