Code Review
This pull request, generated by Snyk, upgrades the Python base image from 3.13.7-slim to 3.14.2-slim in the services/arms/judge/Dockerfile to fix security vulnerabilities. While this is a necessary security update, it introduces a breaking change. The Dockerfile contains a hardcoded path with the old Python version (3.13) for copying packages between build stages. This path needs to be updated to 3.14 to prevent the Docker build from failing. I've added a critical comment highlighting this issue and suggesting a fix.

While upgrading the Python version is a good security practice, this change will break the Docker build. The COPY instruction on line 41 has a hardcoded Python version (3.13) in the path.
# line 41
COPY --from=builder /usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages /usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packagesWith this upgrade to Python 3.14, the path needs to be updated to .../python3.14/... for the COPY command to find the source files. Without this change, the build will fail.
Recommendation:
Update line 41 to:
COPY --from=builder /usr/local/lib/python3.14/site-packages /usr/local/lib/python3.14/site-packagesLong-term improvement:
To make future Python upgrades easier, consider using a build argument for the Python version throughout the Dockerfile. This avoids hardcoding the version in multiple places.
Example:
ARG PYTHON_MAJOR_MINOR_VERSION=3.14
ARG PYTHON_FULL_VERSION=3.14.2
FROM python:${PYTHON_FULL_VERSION}-slim as builder
# ...
# Runtime stage
FROM python:${PYTHON_FULL_VERSION}-slim
# ...
# Copy installed packages from builder
COPY --from=builder /usr/local/lib/python${PYTHON_MAJOR_MINOR_VERSION}/site-packages /usr/local/lib/python${PYTHON_MAJOR_MINOR_VERSION}/site-packagesThis way, you'd only need to update the ARG values for future upgrades.
