Summary of Changes
Hello @zhyncs, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request makes a minor but important update to the development Docker environment. The change involves adding a specific flag to the pip install command within the Dockerfile to better manage Python dependencies and prevent potential conflicts with system-installed packages, leading to a more robust and predictable build environment.
Highlights
- Docker Environment Update: Updated the development Dockerfile (
docker/Dockerfile.dev) to modify how Python packages are installed. - Dependency Management: Added the
--break-system-packagesflag to thepip installcommand for minimal packages. This flag is intended to preventpipfrom installing packages into directories managed by the system package manager, avoiding potential conflicts.

Code Review
This pull request updates the development Dockerfile by adding the --break-system-packages flag to a pip install command. This change is a common approach to enable pip to manage packages in a system Python environment within Docker, particularly to address restrictions imposed by PEP 668.
My review includes one suggestion aimed at enhancing the Dockerfile's maintainability: adding a comment to clarify the purpose and necessity of the --break-system-packages flag. This aligns with general best practices for creating clear and understandable Dockerfiles.

The --break-system-packages flag is used here to allow pip to install packages into the system's Python environment, which is often necessary in Docker containers to avoid issues related to PEP 668 (externally managed environments).
To improve the Dockerfile's maintainability and ensure clarity for future developers, it would be beneficial to add a comment explaining why this flag is necessary.
# Allow pip to install/upgrade packages in the system Python environment (avoids PEP 668 errors)
RUN python3 -m pip install --no-cache-dir --break-system-packages \
