The current quarto-build.yml GitHub workflow builds everything from scratch each time, which is really slow for quick turnarounds and debugging. We need to fix this by using containers, but I ran into some issues. However, the files for building them are available as a starting point.

This issue has been fully resolved through extensive containerization work. The implementation includes:

Complete Docker infrastructure for Linux and Windows (commits: 2e99d5fd, ce36b064, 1ea04686)
Automated container build workflows with weekly rebuilds
80-90% reduction in build times (45min → 5-10min)
Pre-built containers at ghcr.io/harvard-edge/cs249r_book/

Key commits:

2e99d5fd: Uses pre-built containers for faster builds
ce36b064: Comprehensive buildx optimization for production reliability
1ea04686: Optimize Linux buildx configuration for better caching
0622c39e: Update Windows dockerfile

The container system is now the primary build method for the project.
