Backend container enters Restarting state; /health never reports healthy #86

Description:

After BioAnalyzer start, the package container is in "Restarting" state and /health never succeeds within the 60s timeout, so the frontend container then fails with "network not found" or the system appears broken.

Tasks:

  • Add a troubleshooting section to the README or SETUP_GUIDE: run docker logs bioanalyzer-package and interpret common errors (missing .env in container, permission errors on cache/ or logs/, import errors).
  • Ensure docker-compose.yml (and CLI start flow) passes .env into the backend container so NCBI_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, EMAIL are available.
  • Optionally: improve health check or startup so the container exits quickly with a clear error if required config is missing, instead of crash-looping.

Acceptance criteria:

  • README or docs explain how to diagnose "container Restarting" and "health not ready".
  • New users following the Quick Start can get a healthy /health after BioAnalyzer start when .env is correctly set.
