chore(docker): upgrade to Python 3.12-slim base image

[Pouyanpi]

Description

Switch base image from python:3.10 to python:3.12-slim for improved performance and smaller image size. Use --no-install-recommends for apt package installation and clean up apt cache to reduce final image size.

Greptile Summary

Upgraded Docker base image from python:3.10 to python:3.12-slim and implemented Docker best practices for image size optimization.

Key Changes:

• Base image changed to python:3.12-slim for improved performance and reduced image size
• Added --no-install-recommends flag to apt-get install to avoid unnecessary packages
• Added cache cleanup (rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*) in the same RUN layer to reduce final image size

Compatibility:

• Python 3.12 is fully supported according to pyproject.toml (supports Python >=3.10,<3.14)
• All dependencies have appropriate version constraints for Python 3.12

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
• The changes are well-structured and follow Docker best practices. Python 3.12 is officially supported by the project (as confirmed in pyproject.toml line 48), and the slim variant + optimization techniques will reduce image size without affecting functionality. The modifications are contained to a single file with no breaking changes.
• No files require special attention
