Subject: [PATCH] security: switch to slim base image to reduce CVEs

Switch from python:3.14-bookworm to python:3.14-slim-bookworm to
significantly reduce the container's attack surface.

Security improvements:
- Total CVEs: 312 -> 77 (75% reduction)
- Critical CVEs: 2 -> 2 (no change - perl vulnerabilities in Debian)
- High CVEs: 19 -> 3 (84% reduction)
- Image size: 1.97GB -> 665MB (66% reduction)

Changes:
- Use python:3.14-slim-bookworm base image
- Add ca-certificates package (required for HTTPS in slim)
- Use --no-install-recommends to minimize package footprint
- Clean up apt lists after install to reduce image size
- Alphabetize package list for readability

All functionality verified:
- Function binary works
- AWS CLI works
- jq, zsh, less work
- nss-wrapper works with arbitrary UIDs
