+# GitHub Issue #411 Fix Summary
+
+## Problem
+**Error**: `sh: 1: react-scripts: not found`
+**Environment**: Manjaro Linux, Docker
+**Command**: `./start_services.sh`
+**Impact**: Frontend container fails to start, exits with code 127
+
+## Root Cause
+The original `frontend/Dockerfile.frontend` was missing:
+1. Build dependencies required for native Node.js modules (python3, make, g++)
+2. Proper npm configuration to handle peer dependencies
+3. Complete dependency installation process
+
+## Solution Implemented
+
+### File Modified: `frontend/Dockerfile.frontend`
+
+**Key Changes:**
+1. **Base Image**: Changed to `node:18-alpine` for better compatibility
+2. **Build Dependencies**: Added `python3`, `make`, `g++`, `git` via apk
+3. **npm Configuration**: Set `npm_config_legacy_peer_deps=true`
+4. **Environment Variables**: Added proper NODE_ENV and CHOKIDAR_USEPOLLING
+5. **Installation Process**: Enhanced npm install with verbose logging
+
+### Before (Broken):
+
+FROM node:alpine
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY package*.json ./
+RUN npm install
+COPY . .
+CMD ["npm", "start"]
+
+
+### After (Fixed):
+
+FROM node:18-alpine
+WORKDIR /app
+RUN apk add --no-cache python3 make g++ git
+ENV npm_config_legacy_peer_deps=true
+ENV NODE_ENV=development
+ENV CHOKIDAR_USEPOLLING=true
+COPY agentic-seek-front/package*.json ./
+RUN npm install --verbose
+COPY agentic-seek-front/ ./
+EXPOSE 3000
+CMD ["npm", "start"]
+
+
+## Validation Results
+✅ All validation tests passed
+✅ Docker build process works correctly
+✅ react-scripts dependency properly installed
+✅ Frontend service configuration verified
+✅ Alpine Linux compatibility confirmed
+✅ Original error scenario resolved
+
+## User Impact
+- **Before**: Frontend fails to start with "react-scripts: not found" error
+- **After**: Frontend builds and starts successfully
+- **Result**: Web interface accessible at http://localhost:3000
+
+## Next Steps
+1. Run `./start_services.sh` to start all services
+2. Wait for frontend to build and start (may take a few minutes on first run)
+3. Access the web interface at http://localhost:3000
+4. No further configuration needed - fix is already applied
+
+## Technical Details
+- **Target Platform**: Alpine Linux (Docker)
+- **Node.js Version**: 18.x
+- **Package Manager**: npm with legacy peer deps support
+- **Build Tools**: python3, make, g++, git
+- **React Scripts**: Properly installed and available
+
+The fix ensures that all dependencies required for building and running the React frontend are properly installed in the Docker container, resolving the "react-scripts: not found" error completely.
