+Rye's lock file standard is the `requirements.txt` format from `pip` and used by [`uv`](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv), so you don't actually need `rye` in your container to be able to install dependencies.
 This makes the Dockerfile much simpler and avoids the necessity for multi-stage builds if small images are desired.
 
-The `PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1` env var and `--no-cache-dir` parameters when invoking Pip both make the image smaller by not writing any temporary files.
-Both Bytecode and Pip caches are speeding things up when running Pip multiple times, but since we are working in a container, we can be pretty sure that we'll never invoke pip again.
