When using Docker, only the briefcase create command supports creating the image to create containers to run commands. If this docker image is deleted, commands other than create fail to run.

Describe the solution you'd like
Anytime a command needs to run thru Docker, create the image if it doesn't exist.
As for an implementation, this may be as simple as calling docker.prepare() before issuing any commands via docker run. Although, that'll invoke running thru the entire Dockerfile again....perhaps a docker image call would be sufficient.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Re-run the briefcase create command to create the Docker image.
