Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, upgrades the Python base image from 3.13.7-slim to 3.14.2-slim in the services/arms/retriever/Dockerfile to fix security vulnerabilities. While this is a necessary security update, the change as-is will break the Docker build due to a hardcoded path for Python's site-packages directory. A critical review comment has been added to highlight this issue and provide a solution to ensure the build succeeds with the new Python version.

# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
# Retriever Arm Dockerfile - Multi-stage build for Python service
FROM python:3.13.7-slim as builder
FROM python:3.14.2-slim as builder

critical

This upgrade to Python 3.14 will cause the Docker build to fail. The COPY instruction on line 41, which copies packages from the builder stage to the runtime stage, has a hardcoded path for Python 3.13.

# line 41
COPY --from=builder /usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages /usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages

Because both the builder stage (updated here on line 3) and the runtime stage (updated on line 26) now use Python 3.14, this path is incorrect for both the source and destination. The build will fail with a 'file not found' error.

To fix this, line 41 must be updated to use the Python 3.14 path:

COPY --from=builder /usr/local/lib/python3.14/site-packages /usr/local/lib/python3.14/site-packages

To make this file more robust for future upgrades, I recommend using a build argument to define the Python version and using it to construct the path, avoiding hardcoded version numbers.
