Research direction

Start with plugins.sh at the referenced lines 48 and 52, then inspect the repository's Docker configuration to understand how the build runs. The change is complete when ./plugins.sh can use Docker-provided Composer and Yarn when neither tool is installed locally, while preserving the existing build behavior.

Description

enhancement

It would be nice to have the Composer and Yarn come with the build itself. I know that it's not something that everyone would want but I typically try to do everything through Docker containers and I don't have Composer and Yarn installed locally on my machine. So, the build fails when I run ./plugins.sh as expected since I don't have either of them locally installed.

So, it would be really handy to have the Composer and Yarn in the build itself. When there's no local Composer and Yarn installed, it will use the Docker containers instead.
