Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to improve security by upgrading the base Docker image. However, the proposed change from a Debian-based image (slim-trixie) to an Alpine-based one (alpine) will likely break the application build. This is a common issue when switching to Alpine Linux, as many Python packages with C extensions (like TensorFlow, NumPy, and SciPy, which are used in this project) lack pre-compiled wheels for Alpine's musl libc and require system-level build dependencies that are not included in the Dockerfile. I've provided a critical review comment suggesting an alternative, more compatible Debian-based image that also resolves the security vulnerabilities and uses a stable Python version.

[gemini-code-assist]

Switching from a Debian-based (slim-trixie) to an Alpine-based image is a significant change that will likely break the build. Alpine Linux uses musl libc, while Debian uses glibc. Many Python packages with native C extensions, such as tensorflow, numpy, and scipy used in this project, do not have pre-compiled wheels for musl and would need to be built from source. This requires installing numerous build dependencies (like build-base, gfortran, etc.) which are not present in this Dockerfile.

A safer alternative that also resolves the security vulnerabilities is to use a newer, stable Debian-based image. For example, python:3.12-slim-bookworm is based on Debian 12, is compatible with your project's python>=3.8 requirement, and has no known vulnerabilities.
