labels: bug
assignees: ''

⚡️ Describe the Bug

Docker sets PYTHONPATH=/app/src, which causes inconsistent import behavior:

• src.* imports work
• api.* imports fail
• Behavior differs between local and Docker environments

This creates environment-specific failures.

---

👣 Steps to Reproduce

1. Run:

   make build && make up
   docker compose exec app python -c "from api.main import app"

2. Observe ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'api'.

📉 Expected Behavior

Both src.* and api.* imports should resolve consistently in all environments.

🖥️ Environment Information

• OS: Docker container
• Docker/Compose Version: Any
• Ollama Model used: N/A

📸 Screenshots/Logs

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'api'

🕵️ Possible Fix

Set:
ENV PYTHONPATH=/app

instead of /app/src in:

• Dockerfile
• docker-compose.yml
