Docker builds on Apple Silicon (arm64) failed due to three issues: 1. appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage cannot execute under Rosetta inside Docker containers (Exec format error). Added SKIP_APPIMAGETOOL build arg so Apple Silicon hosts skip this step; CI (amd64) is unaffected. 2. Android NDK toolchain is linux-x86_64 and must run under linux/amd64. Added --platform linux/amd64 to docker build and docker run so Docker uses Rosetta to translate x86_64 binaries on Apple Silicon hosts. 3. libc6-dev-i386 is x86-only — resolved by the platform fix above. Also fixed two pre-existing script bugs: - Stale .dart_tool.host directory caused mv to fail on retry builds - Flutter build/ artifacts from host embed /Users/... paths that are incompatible with Docker's /workspace mount; now cleaned before build Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Thanks for the fix! We don't have a ton of contributors building on macs so understandable if we missed something there. I re-tested on my machine (linux) and nothing is broken, so let's merge.
