Suriyakumarvijayanayagam 2d1f8e4156 Remove the empty VITE_API_BASE_URL build arg - it overrode .env.production ...

The deployed bundle shipped with no API base URL, so every request fell back to
a relative /api/*, which the frontend's nginx forwards to a backend:8000 service
this deployment does not have.

The cause was this Dockerfile. Vite gives a real environment variable precedence
over its .env files, so `ARG VITE_API_BASE_URL=""` followed by `ENV
VITE_API_BASE_URL=$VITE_API_BASE_URL` did not leave the value unset - it set it
to an empty string and overrode .env.production. Nothing about the build says
so; it just quietly produces a bundle with no API host.

Reproduced directly: building with VITE_API_BASE_URL="" in the environment
yields a bundle with no API URL, and building with the variable unset bakes in
https://mcp.nearle.ai.in from .env.production.

The value now comes from .env.production alone. Point a build elsewhere by
editing that file or adding .env.local; both are read by Vite and neither can be
silently empty.
