CI, production Docker, and hardening fixes (rebased on upstream main)

[AayushBehera]

Upstream Reconciliation Complete — Merge-Safe PR

The project has been successfully rebuilt on the current upstream main branch and the feature branch now shares history with upstream.

Included

CI/CD

• Reworked ubuntu-tests.yml
• Added docker-build-test.yml for container smoke testing
• Added integration-tests.yml

Docker / Deployment

• Hardened Dockerfile
• Added .dockerignore
• Added docker-compose.yml
• Added docker/README.md

Compatibility and Reliability Fixes

• Improved aider/repo.py to safely skip commits with missing messages
• Hardened version-guard logic in aider/utils.py
• Added compatible package metadata updates in aider/coders/__init__.py
• Updated pytest.ini and .gitignore

Tests

Updated and extended compatibility coverage across:

• repository handling
• main application flow
• onboarding
• OpenRouter
• SendChat
• AWS credentials
• SSL verification
• voice
• scraping
• shared test configuration

Intentionally Excluded

The previous custom modules:

• aider/diagnostics.py
• aider/context_budget.py

were excluded because they no longer exist in the current upstream architecture, and retaining their dependent imports would break the current Aider codebase.

Their dependent tests were therefore also excluded.

Previously requested dead-code-file deletions were not applied where doing so would conflict with upstream structure.

Result

The contribution branch has been rebuilt against the current upstream main.

The resulting PR now contains only the CI/CD, Docker, testing, and compatibility-hardening work, with the previous structural divergence removed.

Merge status: merge-clean with no known upstream conflicts.
