fix: Fix the deployment to viewer-dev caused by missing .npmrc

[wayfarer3130]

fix(ci): restore committed .npmrc in Docker build jobs (pnpm migration)

The pnpm migration (#6031) made the Dockerfile COPY .npmrc into the builder stage because pnpm needs the workspace config it carries (node-linker=hoisted, link-workspace-packages). But the Docker jobs still ran rm -f ./.npmrc immediately before docker build -- a leftover from when .npmrc only held npm credentials. NPM_PUBLISH overwrites the tracked .npmrc with a publish auth token and persists it to the workspace, so the Docker jobs deleted the file the Dockerfile requires:

ERROR [builder 6/13] COPY package.json pnpm-lock.yaml pnpm-workspace.yaml .npmrc ./
failed to compute cache key: "/.npmrc": not found

DEPLOY_MASTER therefore failed at DOCKER_BETA_PUBLISH on every master build after the migration (NPM_PUBLISH still pushed the version bump first, so npm packages shipped but the latest-beta image never did -- leaving viewer-dev.ohif.org stuck on the prior beta).

Replace rm -f ./.npmrc with git checkout -- .npmrc in the four Docker build jobs so the committed, token-free workspace-config .npmrc is restored before the build. The two manifest jobs keep rm since they do not build from the Dockerfile.

Greptile Summary

This PR fixes a broken Docker build pipeline caused by a rm -f ./.npmrc leftover from before the pnpm migration. NPM_PUBLISH overwrites .npmrc with a publish auth token, but the Dockerfile COPYs .npmrc for the in-image pnpm install, so deleting it caused every master build to fail after the token was written.

• Replaces rm -f ./.npmrc with git checkout -- .npmrc in the four Docker build jobs, restoring the committed pnpm workspace config (node-linker, link-workspace-packages) before docker build runs.
• The two manifest-only jobs (DOCKER_MULTIARCH_MANIFEST, DOCKER_BETA_MULTIARCH_MANIFEST) keep rm -f ./.npmrc since they never invoke docker build and do not require the file.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The change is safe to merge — it restores a broken CI pipeline with a minimal, targeted fix that has no impact on application code.

git checkout -- .npmrc correctly restores the committed file from the index in both normal and detached-HEAD CI checkouts. The four changed jobs all call docker build and genuinely need the file; the two manifest jobs that were intentionally left with rm never call docker build. The fix is complete and well-scoped.

No files require special attention.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CircleCI configuration is updated to restore the committed .npmrc file during Docker builds rather than deleting it. This change applies consistently across four Docker build job definitions for release and beta deployments on both amd64 and arm64 architectures, enabling pnpm install to run inside Docker containers without additional token configuration.

Changes

Docker .npmrc Restoration in CircleCI Jobs

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update release and beta Docker build scripts to restore .npmrc .circleci/config.yml	Four Docker build jobs (DOCKER_RELEASE_PUBLISH, DOCKER_RELEASE_PUBLISH_ARM, DOCKER_BETA_PUBLISH, DOCKER_BETA_PUBLISH_ARM) replace file deletion with git checkout -- .npmrc to ensure the config is present during in-image pnpm install operations.

Poem

🐰 A config file once deleted with care,
Now gently restored from git's affairs,
.npmrc stays for the build to install,
Four jobs aligned—a pattern so tall!
Token-free installs, no secrets to share! 📦✨
