… CVEs) The first Harbor scan of the CI-built image flagged 2 CRITICAL + 8 HIGH, all in the python:3.12-slim (Debian) base userland (perl-base, ncurses) and all marked affected/fix_deferred with no Fixed Version -- unpatchable in place. Rebase onto public.ecr.aws/amazonlinux/amazonlinux:2023 (Squirro's house base for mcp/*, rebuilt ~daily and actively patched). TU needs only Python >=3.10, so AL2023's dnf python3.11 (3.11.15) is used -- which also matches the cluster runtime. apt->dnf package-name translation; explicit python3.11 -m pip so the tooluniverse-smcp console-script shebang binds 3.11 (default python3 is 3.9). Build toolchain removed post-install to trim the scan surface. Verified locally (trivy 0.71.0 / podman): final image 0 CVEs at every severity (down from 2C+8H); smoke.sh PASS (MCP handshake, 7 compact meta-tools, get_skill serves a body, execute_tool reaches CT.gov). Downstream contract unchanged. Decision recorded in swiss-rockets-delivery ADR-0011.

What
Rebase the SMCP image from
python:3.12-slim(Debian) ontopublic.ecr.aws/amazonlinux/amazonlinux:2023.Why
The first Harbor scan of the CI-built image flagged 2 CRITICAL + 8 HIGH, all in the Debian base userland (
perl-base×2 crit + ×4 high,ncursesfamily ×1 high). Every one is markedaffected/fix_deferredwith no Fixed Version — they cannot be patched in place (apt upgradeis a no-op). Per Michal's recommendation, AL2023 (Squirro's house base formcp/*, rebuilt ~daily and patched) is the fix.How
apt→dnf, RPM package names (gcc-c++, capitalisedlibX*,expat,libgomp).requires-python), so install AL2023'spython3.11(3.11.15) — which also matches the cluster's documented Python 3.11 runtime.python3.11 -m pip install(AL2023's defaultpython3is 3.9) so thetooluniverse-smcpconsole-script shebang binds 3.11.--exclude-tools, served-skills glob, healthcheck, port 8000) is unchanged.Verification (local — trivy 0.71.0, podman 4.9.3)
python:3.12-slim(before)amazonlinux:2023(bare base)./smoke.shagainst the AL2023 container: PASS — MCP handshake, 7 compact meta-tools,get_skillserves the disease-research body (10 427 chars),execute_toolreaches CT.gov.Merging re-arms the CI pipeline (build → Harbor push → Trivy scan), so the Harbor re-scan is the authoritative confirmation.
